Jason Kipnis took fly balls in center field on Tuesday as he transitions from playing second base.

The move comes after the Cleveland Indians acquired Josh Donaldson from the Toronto Blue Jays last week.

Donaldson is currently on the disabled list, but his arrival has caused a shift in the infield. Jose Ramirez is moving from third to second to make room for Donaldson. That bumps Kipnis to the outfield.

"I'm not going to make it about me this year," Kipnis said. "I understand what he can bring to the table and I'm hoping he does it. I'm excited for this team and this organization. I understand where they're coming from and I understand that I probably put us in this situation with not having the year I'm capable of having.

"It's a little bit of cause and effect. But I've got a job to do. I show up every day and work hard and if that means switching positions, I'm switching positions. I look forward to most challenges. I'm excited to get going."
