Indians Place Miller, Salazar, Kipnis On 10-Day DL

By Jeff Todd and Steve Adams | August 23, 2017 at 3:32pm CDT

3:32pm: The team doesn’t currently have a timetable for Kipnis’ return, manager Terry Francona tells reporters (Twitter links via Bastian). An MRI revealed a strain, but there could be some scar tissue forming in Kipnis’ hamstring as well. As for Miller, the Indians consulted with the Cleveland Cavaliers’ medical staff to get another opinion on dealing with this type of injury to a player of Miller’s height. They’ll have a more detailed update tomorrow, but it doesn’t appear that the injury is especially serious.

Aug. 23, 1:57pm: Kipnis is headed to the DL with what the team is calling a hamstring strain, though the severity isn’t yet known. Infielder Erik Gonzalez has been recalled to take his roster spot.

Aug. 22, 10:38pm: Indians fans can breathe a sigh of relief with respect to Salazar, as Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon-Journal tweets that his MRI came back clean. That said, Salazar will still “be down a few days before being built back up,” per Lewis.

Unfortunately for Cleveland fans, though, there’s now yet another injury situation over which to have some trepidation. Second baseman Jason Kipnis exited tonight’s game in the second inning with tightness in his right hamstring, and Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer tweets that Kipnis is scheduled for an MRI of his own tomorrow.

Kipnis was on the disabled list from July 9 through Aug. 6 due to a strained right hamstring and missed three additional games with discomfort in that same hamstring earlier this month.

4:22pm: MLB.com’s Jordan Bastian tweets that Salazar felt “tightness” in his right elbow during a side session Tuesday and will undergo an MRI later tonight.

2:23pm: The Indians have placed two key hurlers — lefty Andrew Miller and right-handed starter Danny Salazar — on the 10-day DL, per a club announcement. The team has recalled righty Shawn Armstrong and infielder Yandy Diaz to take the open roster spots.

It’s disappointing to see both Miller and Salazar landing back on the DL so soon after recent trips. The former left his appearance last night after a worrying dip in velocity, as his patellar tendinitis flared up. Meanwhile, the latter has been diagnosed with elbow inflammation. He missed a lengthy stretch with shoulder woes, but had pitched brilliantly in his first five starts upon his return before turning in a dud in his last outing.

The outlook on these two pitchers isn’t yet clear, but Cleveland will obviously be hoping for a relatively quick return. While the Indians do enjoy a fairly healthy 5.5-game cushion in the AL Central, that’s hardly an unassailable position. If a repeat postseason run is to be had, the club will need these high-powered arms at its disposal.

    probably the best thing to do for miller, get him completely 100% for the stretch run, however i’m a little more concerned about danny. have a feeling that one will linger a bit more.

      Hopefully nothing a little cortisone shot couldn’t cure through the playoffs.

    I think it shows how hard it is to pitch deep in the playoffs and be the same pitcher the next year.and stay healthy.

    Tyler Olsen has thrown the ball pretty well since coming up from Columbus…….but he is NOT Andrew Miller. Joe Smith is a nice boost to the back end of the pen.

      You’re right, the only person that is Andrew Miller is Brad Hand.

          Cause no one who needs him has a shot to even work out a deal with the padres.

          You figure Nationals, Dodgers, Astros, Indians and he won’t even make it out of the NL so Nationals and Dodgers are last in that pecking order and any team looking to compete next year a la the giants could claim just to block him from pitching for LA the next 2 years.

      Olsen doesn’t need to be Miller. He’s doing just fine being Olsen.

    Elbow tightness can’t be a good sign for Salazar. Here’s to hoping it’s nothing serious.

    Salazar looked dominant in a couple of his recent starts. Really a shame to see him go down with an injury again. Tough year.

    And now Kipnis gets pulled from tonight’s game. I knew that hamstring wasn’t healed. Ever since he came back he’s been running like he was favoring it.

    The wounded list continues to grow.

        Yep, that’s right on the money, with a little Pronk thrown in on the side.

        Tribe has a player at High-A Lynchburg right now, named Sam Haggerty. Plays 2B (along with SS), and is a top-of-the-order guy. I check our minor league box scores every night, and rarely have I seen a game where he didn’t contribute in some way.
        He’s batting .267, with a .364 OBP. And get this, he has 43 stolen bases so far.
        His other stats: 68 Runs, 27 doubles, 13 triples, 59 walks.

        He should definitely be moving up to AA Akron next season.

          always love to see another speed guy with the ability to find the gaps. hopefully he continues to climb the ladder.

        Just wait until Zimmer burns out ala Grady. The kid plays the game right, hustling, diving, jumping etc…but that all ends up making you break down.

          I’d rather have a player break down from playing the game too hard, than a player stay healthy by not giving it his all

      One injury after another for Kipnis and Salazar both. Tribe fans have come to expect Brantley to lose significant chunks of every season to injury. I wonder if DET would have taken Kipnis straight up for Kinsler earlier this month?

        Martinez will only waive his no trade clause if they trade him to Miami for Stanton.
