The Cleveland Indians activated two-time All-Star second baseman Jason Kipnis off the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday’s game against the Seattle Mariners.
Kipnis hasn’t played this season because of a low-grade right calf strain. He recently completed a rehab assignment with Triple-A Columbus.
In a separate move, the Indians designated infielder Brad Miller for assignment.
Entering his ninth MLB season, Kipnis has played his entire career with the Indians. He was an All-Star in 2013 and 2015, but he batted a career-worst .230 in 147 games last season.
In more good news for Cleveland on the injury front, shortstop Francisco Lindor will begin a rehab assignment Monday night with Triple-A Columbus in Louisville.
Lindor has not played this season due to a right calf strain and a left ankle sprain.
