Doug Fister Shuts Down Tribe Offense, Three Takeaways from Indians 9-1 Defeat

3.) Cleveland Indians Injury Bug Bites Again

You can add Jason Kipnis to the list of Indians players that are hurt. In the 3rd inning, Kipnis was removed from the game due to Right Hamstring Tightness. This has been an issue that Kipnis has had to deal with since coming off of the DL.

No word yet on what the status of Kipnis is or will be but this is not good news in general because before the game the team announced that Andrew Miller and Danny Salazar will be heading to the Disabled List.

Carlos Santana was removed from the game yesterday for Lower Back Tightness and added his name to the list yesterday.

Throw Almonte in there, too

Also saw @DreKnott battling a stiff neck last week thanks to the manager, but that's a different injury list

With the injury to Salazar, the plan according to Zack Meisel is to have Ryan Merritt come back and start for the Indians on Friday. Josh Tomlin will go on a rehab assignment and could be placed back into the rotation following Friday.
