Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier regained some of his old magic Wednesday versus the Blue Jays. He would go deep twice in the game with both homers being solo shots. Kiermaier was having a down year in power with only four HR in 2018 coming into the game after hitting 15 in 98 games the previous season. Kiermaier has teased fans for years with plenty of raw talent but an inability to stay healthy. [...]

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (back) returned to the lineup Monday versus the Blue Jays. He would go 3-for-4 which actually raised his seasonal batting average over .200. He would score a run and drive one in during the 7-1 victory. Kiermaier has teased fans for years with plenty of raw talent but an inability to stay healthy. [...]

Happy Birthday to me, Rotoballers! But I guess most of you don't care so much about my birthday. While that is quite hurtful, I get it. No hard feelings. I'll go cry to my beautiful fiancée and stare at my multiple fantasy championship belts. That's right, multiple belts. How'd I get multiple belts from different leagues? Grinding and finding value where no one else is looking. Why am I in multiple leagues that reward their champions with WWE-style belts? Fair question, but if your league do[...]

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (back) said his back "feels a little bit better today," but he wasn't in the starting lineup on Sunday after dealing with back spasms on Saturday. He's hoping he can rejoin the lineup on Monday, but he's day-to-day and might not play on the turf in Toronto. Kiermaier is hitting a disappointing .198 on the season with four home runs, 21 RBI and nine stolen bases in 71 games.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier left the game Saturday versus Cleveland. After the game, he said that his back had been bothering him for a week and it acted up again after a particularly hard throw. Kiermaier expects to play again Sunday so the issue seems more like something owners will just have to monitor going forward. He also drove in what would turn out to be the eventual game-winner. Kiermaier has plenty of potential but this has been a horrible season. Despite the heroics Sat[...]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier has a .193/.256/.307 line over 277 plate appearances and just four homers with a .114 ISO and a 25.6% strikeout rate, but he has looked better of late. Over the last week, the 28-year-old has hit .333/.360/.458 with a run and three extra-base hits over 24 at-bats. A week of work is a pretty thin rationale for sacrificing a roster spot, but Kiermaier has gone from zero to [...]

My birthday is September 7th, so naturally I'm excited to see the end of August. This being the last full week before the last full month of the season, the final stretch is officially here. And all I want for my birthday is a ticket to the fantasy playoffs. It's a magical time where we stop looking for long term value and recalibrate to who can help today. It's also the spot for keepers and dynasty players to look at grabbing assets for future seasons. Players like Corey Seager and Jesse Win[...]

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier raised his head from his slumber to give a moment of contribution Saturday versus the Red Sox. [...]

If your league doesn't have a trade deadline before September (or at all), you still have plenty of time to wheel and deal for the playoff stretch. Most of us, however, are up against Father Time and his ceaseless battle to rob us of our most precious commodity. If you're in the market to make a last-second deal that could swing the tide for you in one category or another, here are some names to consider adding or moving. Scouting players who may be undervalued and re-assessing players who ma[...]

We're back to cover a few more guys who moved at the Trade Deadline. I didn't mention Lance Lynn before, but his acquisition by the Yankees was strange. The ball flies out of Yankee Bandbox, and Lynn had a severe case of gopheritis in Minnesota. He's not an option in any competitive format. This column will focus on Asdrubal Cabrera (now of the Phillies) and Nathan Eovaldi (Red Sox). Both have serviceable fantasy lines to date, but their new homes could put their value into jeopardy. It's not[...]
