Kiermaier was forced to leave Friday's game against the Blue Jays after taking a hit-by-pitch off the hand from Francisco Liriano, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier was able to stay in the game for two innings after the hit-by-pitch, but it's unclear if his removal was precautionary or because the injury was more serious than it initially seemed. With all those small bones in one place, the hand is a particularly scary one for hit-by-pitches. Expect an update from the team before Saturday's 4:10 PM start time.
