Jason Kipnis News
The Atlanta Braves agreed to terms on a minor-league deal with veteran infielder Jason Kipnis. The deal includes an invitation to the team's spring camp. Kipnis appeared in 44 games during the 2020 season, slashing .237/.341/.404 with 16 RBI. The 33-year-old has a good chance at earning a roster spot, mainly due to his experience and positional versatility. Despite that, his value does not fully translate over to fantasy formats, making him nothing more than a lottery ticket pick at the end of drafts.
Chicago Cubs second baseman Jason Kipnis went 2-for-4 with a run scored and RBI. Kipnis hit a triple in his first at-bat after Reds outfielder Shogo Akiyama lost the ball in the sun and later hit a single. Kipnis is sharing reps at second base with Nico Hoerner, but was the designated hitter Tuesday. The former All-Star is unlikely to add much value to fantasy rosters with Nico Hoerner and David Bote in the picture. For now, Kipnis can be left on the waiver wire.
Chicago Cubs second baseman Jason Kipnis will make his debut for his new team on Saturday versus the Brewers. The Cubs went with Nico Hoerner in Fridays season opener, but will go with the veteran on Saturday. Kipnis is coming off of a tough 2019 campaign and had to settle for a minor league deal this offseason. The former All-Star will bat eighth and should be ignored in all formats for now.
