Jason Kipnis Out 4-to-5 Weeks (3/19)

[revo]

time to drop him down in the rankings.....

Jason Kipnis will be sidelined for another 4-5 weeks after a second opinion confirmed that he has inflammation in his right shoulder.
The diagnosis doesn't appear to be any worse here, as we already knew Kipnis was nursing soreness in his rotator cuff. The 4-5 week timeline does give us a bit more clarity, though, and in all likelihood it appears Kipnis will at least miss all of April. The Indians are considering moving Jose Ramirez to second base and using Giovanny Urshela and/or Richie Shaffer at third. They could also simply install Michael Martinez and/or Erik Gonzalez at second base.

cutting his value in half on my board. Shoulder trouble is no bueno

It's tough to be the (almost) king.

Ouch. Could be a ding on all Indian hitters, and my top end bid for Kipnis is now around $15

In AL Only or mixed? In mixed he was around 15 before the injury.

11 team AL only. Plus my league is OBP instead of BA, so that's another small plus bump in his value. I had him at 22-24 before the injury

Makes sense, numbers seem reasonable pre-injury.
