Jason Kipnis isn't moving to the outfield anytime soon: Cleveland Indians notes

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Don't include Jason Kipnis among the outfield options for the Indians.

Not yet, at least.

"Not at this point, it's not something we're considering," Tribe president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said Monday.

Kipnis, an outfielder in college at Arizona State, last manned an outfield position in 2009. That year, he appeared in seven games in center field and 18 contests in left for Low-A Mahoning Valley. Second base has served as his residence ever since.

The Indians, though, are desperate for outfield assistance and have Jose Ramirez as another option at second base.
