When the Cleveland Indians’ Jason Kipnis was slotted in as the designated hitter yesterday, Terry Francona said it was due to a sore right shoulder, but nothing serious. My, how that escalated quickly. After it appeared that maybe the long season was simply wearing on Kipnis–who has been the Indians’ hottest hitter all season–an MRI left the Tribe a bit more concerned.
