Reporter shares an ugly photo of Jason Kipnis' sprained ankle
After the Cleveland Indians clinched the American League pennant with a 3-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays last Wednesday, Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis jumped for joy and accidentally injured himself.
The sprain won't keep Kipnis out of action but take a look at this from MLB Network's Heidi Watney:
That thing looks like a baseball.
It's unclear when the photographs of the ankle were taken, so it may be improved now. In any case, Indians manager says Kipnis is fine and will be in the lineup when the Indians host the Cubs in Game 1 on Tuesday night at 8 p.m. ET. (Watch on FOX Sports Go.)
