Cleveland Indians 2B Jason Kipnis (elbow) will not play Wednesday, April 17, or Thursday, April 18. He last played April 12 while dealing with a sore left elbow.

Fantasy Tip: The team is likely being cautious with Kipnis, as he tried to convince Terry Francona that he was fine to play today. This doesn't appear to be a situation where Kipnis is in danger of landing on the disabled list, unless he suffers some sort of setback.

Cleveland Indians 2B Jason Kipnis (elbow) missed his second consecutive game Sunday, April 14, against the Chicago White Sox due to a sore left elbow.

Fantasy Tip: Kipnis is an awfully risky fantasy play heading into the new week. The good news is that Kipnis will have a team off day to rest Monday, April 15. If you have healthier alternatives, however, plug them into the lineup and bench Kipnis just to be on the safe side.
