Jason Kipnis beginning to sizzle

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis had a big offensive performance in a 10-4 win over the Phillies on Wednesday.  Batting second, Kipnis went 3 for 4 with a walk, three runs scored and three RBI. He doubled twice in the game and homered in the eighth inning for a three-run shot, his sixth of the year.  After all that production, Kipnis' batting average remains just .236. Still, his bat is definitely warming as he's raised his average from .217 over his last 10 games with four homers and 10 RBI. He's up to six homers and 20 RBI over 127 at-bats.

Jason Kipnis hits another first-inning home run

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis provided all the offense in the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Yankees. Kipnis' first-inning solo home run off David Phelps stood as the game-winning run in a 1-0 victory for Cleveland. All five of Kipnis' home runs this season and eight of his last nine dating back to last year have come in the first inning. Only two of those home runs have produced more than one RBI. Kipnis is batting .283 (13 for 46) with two triples, three doubles, four home runs and 13 RBI in his last 11 games.

Game 1 notes: Solid outing for Phelps

Yankees Blog | ESPN New York — CLEVELAND -- The New York Yankees’ bats could muster very little as they fell victim to a complete-game shutout by the Cleveland Indians’ Justin Masterson in Game 1 on Monday. Yankees starter David Phelps (1-2) had a solid outing, fanning seven in 6 2/3 innings, but one mistake -- a solo home run by Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis in the first inning -- would prove to be the difference. Phelps said that he simply missed his location with a 2-2 fastball and Kipnis made him pay.

GIF of the Day: Jason Kipnis makes game-saving behind-the-back flip at second base

Bless You Boys — Sometimes, you just have to tip your cap. Jason Kipnis fielded a sharp ground ball off the bat of Austin Jackson that looked destined for center field, and instead turned it into a near double-play. Given the context -- runners on first and second base with one out in the ninth inning -- it's safe to say that Kipnis made a game-saving play. The save should really go to Kipnis because shutdown closer Chris Perez was nice and mediocre — Grey (@spacemnkymafia) May 12, 2013 Here's Kipnis' flip from another angle. Had Kipnis not been able to get Infante at second, there's a good chanc...

Jason Kipnis making up for slow start

CBSSports.com Fantasy — For the second year in a row, Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis is starting to heat up following the season's first month. Kipnis looked like a bust in April, as he was slowed by injury and poor performance. Ever since May hit, however, he has turned his game up, batting .263 with three home runs, 10 RBI and six runs scored in nine games this month. Fantasy owners should feel confident getting him active in all formats. He is a top-10 Fantasy second baseman right now.

Cleveland Indians notebook: Switching Jason Kipnis, Asdrubal Cabrera in lineup has paid dividends

Akron Beacon Journal — DETROIT: For the past 11 games, Asdrubal Cabrera has batted third in the lineup and Jason Kipnis second. Until then, their positions in the batting order had been reversed.“I think Cabrera said early that he’s more comfortable hitting third,” manager Terry Francona said. “I was a little stubborn about it, because I didn’t want left-handers hitting back to back (leadoff batter Michael Bourn and Kipnis).”So far, the change has benefited both players. Since the switch, Kipnis is batting .279 with one triple, four home runs and 11 RBI. Cabrera is batting .250 with three doubles, three home runs an...
