The 33-year-old infielder will likely provide depth for Atlanta as a utility infielder and a left-handed bat off the bench behind starter Ozzie Albies. Once a fantasy star, Kipnis can be ignored in fantasy leagues at this stage of his career.

Jason Kipnis walked and came around to score Sunday. It was a good way to end the regular season but he simply did not get enough playing time.

Jason Kipnis only recorded one hit Sunday versus the Brewers. However, he found other ways to reach and would record two runs scored and two driven in.

Avoid Kipnis outside of deep leagues unless he starts getting several starts a week which would likely require at least one major injury by someone. Kipnis' value was severely hurt when the minor leagues were canceled which ended the concept of having Nico Hoerner start the season down there.
