Kiermaier is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

With southpaw Chris Sale on the mound for Boston, the lefty-hitting Kiermaier will cede his spot in the outfield to the righty-hitting Manuel Margot. Kiermaier could give way to Margot again in the series finale Thursday, when lefty Eduardo Rodriguez is scheduled to take the hill for the Red Sox.
