In case you missed it, Michael Bourn has landed on the 15-day DL with a hamstring injury he suffered in the 8th inning last night. Interesting to see Kipnis taking over the leadoff spot; I wonder if that will be the norm during Bourn's absence.

Facing a lefty, Chisenhall gets dropped all the way to #8, which I don't like. We're all aware he struggled with lefties before this season, but he's hit them a lot better this year, and I think he's hit well enough overall to be above getting dropped down against certain pitchers. Alas.
