CLEVELAND, Ohio- As the Cleveland Indians continue to tune up in Goodyear, Arizona for Opening Day against the Texas Rangers, there are a few injuries that will affect the way the Tribe goes about the season.
Starting Second Baseman Jason Kipnis will miss most of the games in April it appears, as Kipnis met with Doctor Keith Meister in Goodyear on Friday night. The diagnosis is that Kipnis has shoulder inflammation currently and is about 4-5 weeks out from being able to play in a game-situation. Doctor Meister did clear Kipnis for his strengthening program so he would be able to continue his hitting and throwing programs in approximately one week.
