Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis was placed on the disabled list Friday with a strained right oblique.
Kipnis suffered the injury while grounding into a double play during the fourth inning of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The move is retroactive to April 30.
The Indians called up Jose Ramirez, who was hitting .319 at Triple-A Columbus, to fill the roster spot.
Kipnis, a first-time All-Star last season, is batting .234 with three home runs and 12 RBIs in 26 games. He had 17 homers and 84 RBIs in 2013 -- both career highs -- becoming the first Indians second baseman to lead the team in RBIs since Joe Gordon in 1948.
