Kiermaier is out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Seattle, Roger Mooney of The Tampa Tribune reports. Kiemaier will take a seat once again, with the Rays facing a left-handed starter for a third straight game. Unfortunately for Kiermaier's owners, the Rays are also scheduled to face southpaws in seven of the next 10 games after Thursday. This is one of the the most lefty-heavy stretches of a schedule any team will face all season.
