Kiermaier (wrist) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll remain on the bench for a second straight contest due to a sore left wrist. Since the Rays are facing a left-handed pitcher (J.A. Happ), Kiermaier may have been out of the starting nine anyway, given manager Kevin Cash's proclivity to play matchups. The righty-hitting Guillermo Heredia will step in for Kiermaier in center field in the series opener. Per Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network, Kiermaier is available off the bench and expects to rejoin the lineup for Friday's contest.
