Kevin Kiermaier Stats

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier left Monday's game against the New York Yankees with inflammation in his left hip. Kiermaier appeared to be feeling some discomfort in his leg during his first, and only, at-bat in the game. He wound up striking out and was replaced in center field by Brett Phillips. Kiermaier just returned a few days earlier after missing some time with tightness in his Achilles. The veteran is hitting .229 with seven homers, 26 runs, 17 RBI, and five steals over 179 at-bats. Look for Tampa Bay to update his status after Monday's game ends.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielders Manuel Margot and Kevin Kiermaier (Achilles) are not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Baltimore Orioles. Margot will get a normal day off in the series opener. The 27-year-old has been hot all year and is slashing .310/.373/.435 with an .807 OPS, three home runs, 24 RBI, 20 runs scored and five stolen bases in 185 plate appearances. Kiermaier hasn't played since being pulled from Wednesday's game with left Achilles inflammation. Kiermaier has seven long balls and five steals on the year, but it has come with a weak .225 average and .264 on-base percentage. Harold Ramirez is in right field and hitting fifth, while Brett Phillips is in center field and is batting sixth on Friday against Orioles right-hander Dean Kremer.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (Achilles) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the New York Yankees. Kiermaier left the contest early on Wednesday with left Achilles inflammation, so it shouldn't be a huge surprise that he's resting the day after. It remains to be seen how much time he'll miss, but fantasy managers should consider the 32-year-old day-to-day for now. Brett Phillips will get the nod in center field on Thursday and is hitting sixth against Yankees right-hander Luis Severino. Phillips is really struggling this year. He's gone just 2-for-29 (.069) in June with 14 strikeouts to drop his season line to .171/.237/.301 with four home runs and 10 RBI in 137 plate appearances.
