Jason Kipnis is about to join a growing list of Indians players who will not be finishing the season on the field. Unlike José Ramírez and Tyler Naquin, however, we’ve probably seen the last of Jason Kipnis in a Cleveland Indians uniform altogether.
The Indians announced earlier today that the longtime second basemen will be out 4-6 weeks with a broken hamate bone. Given that its already September 17, it is highly unlikely we’ll see him play again this season, unless the Indians make a deep playoff run and he rushes back to play hero in the World Series.
