2B Jason Kipnis went 1-for-5 in the Indians' victory over the Athletics on Thursday. He was caught trying to steal second base. This was the seventh time he has been caught in 18 attempts.

Fantasy Impact:

Jason Kipnis is arguably the best second baseman in the game but he could be offering even more to fantasy owners. Over the last three years, Kipnis has nabbed 83 bags at a convenient success rate of 83%. Currently he has just 11 stolen bases in 18 attempts (61% success rate). Considering his superior .408 OBP in 2015 compared to .340 OBP for the previous three years and factor in that he is now leading off, the stolen base numbers could be much higher.
