The Cleveland Indians will be without their star second baseman for a handful of spring training games. Jason Kipnis received a cortisone shot in his right shoulder to help with a strained rotator cuff, according to MLB.com’s Jordan Bastian, and now he’s going to sit for the better part of a week while it heals.

The Indians followed up shortly after with a tweet, saying that Tito thinks he’ll “raring to go” once he gets back.
