Kipnis off IL; Lindor to start rehab Tuesday | MLB
Kip looked good in his first night back with the Tribe. Now the last piece of the puzzle will be to get his middle infield partner, Francisco Lindor, back into the mix as soon as possible.
No clue how Greg Allen pulled off this catch | MLB
Greg Allen may be struggling at the plate, but he showed off some fancy glove work in last night’s game. Hopefully that confidence translates to some success in his at-bats.
