Kevin Kiermaier Stats

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier will start Saturday's game against the visiting Cleveland Guardians on the bench with left-hander Logan Allen on the mound. The left-handed-hitting Kiermaier is actually hitting .299 (20-for-67) against southpaws in 2023, but he's yet to go deep against them in 43 games. Daulton Varsho will start in center field and bat ninth for the Jays against Allen, with Whit Merrifield shifting to left field. Kiermaier has had a pretty solid season in his first year in Toronto, slashing .267/.326/.414 with six home runs, 14 doubles, five triples, 30 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 42 runs scored in 101 games. However, he's faded of late, going 7-for-31 (.226) with a homer, double, six RBI and three runs scored in 12 games (nine starts) so far in August.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Kiermaier returned on Friday after missing some time due to an elbow laceration. This doesn't appear to be related at all and is just a routine rest day for the veteran outfielder. Daulton Varsho will cover center field and bat ninth versus left-hander Brandon Williamson on Saturday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with Kiermaier out.

The Toronto Blue Jays activated outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (elbow) and right-hander Trevor Richards (neck) from the injured list on Friday and optioned outfielder Nathan Lukes and right-hander Jay Jackson to Triple-A Buffalo in corresponding moves. Kiermaier will immediately return to the starting lineup on Friday against Cincinnati Reds right-hander Brett Kennedy, playing center field and batting in the nine-hole. The 33-year-old veteran outfield spent the minimal time on the IL with a right-elbow laceration. Hopefully he'll be able to pick up where he left off in the second half of the season, as he's gone 15-for-51 (.294) with a homer, two doubles, eight RBI, a stolen base and seven runs scored in 21 games (16 starts) since the All-Star break. Kiermaier will have a low DFS ceiling on Friday in the nine-hole.
