Kevin Kiermaier Homers Saturday Versus Baltimore rotoballer.com Sat 7/28/18 9:00 PM
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier showed off his power potential Saturday versus the Orioles. He would hit a solo HR to score one of the two runs Tampa Bay would get in the 11-2 loss. It was Kiermaier's third HR in the past 12 games he has played, as opposed to the one he had the rest of the season before that. He has 9 RBI in his past 13 games, as opposed to 5 in the 29 games before. The center fielder hit 15 home runs and stole 16 bases last season, so he has the potential to put up s[...]

Kevin Kiermaier Returning on Monday rotoballer.com Mon 7/23/18 11:55 AM
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (foot) will return to the Rays starting lineup on Monday after missing back-to-back games with a bone bruise in his right foot. Kiermaier will resume his role of batting first and playing center field against Yankees' righty Luis Severino. Kiermaier is hitting .192/.277/.273 off right-handed pitching this season. He's not worth using in DFS on Monday, and is only an option in AL-only fantasy leagues.
Kevin Kiermaier Expects To Return Monday rotoballer.com Sat 7/21/18 10:41 AM
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (foot) underwent an MRI exam and received a cortisone shot in his sore foot. He will miss the games Saturday and Sunday but expects to be "100 percent" on Monday against the Yankees. Kiermaier avoided a serious injury and should return for fantasy owners in a few days. He's been a disappointment this year, hitting just .183/.259/.289 with two home runs, 11 RBI and six steals in 36 games. Speed and defense are his biggest strengths, so he can help those [...]
Kevin Kiermaier Has Severe Bone Bruise rotoballer.com Sat 7/21/18 9:39 AM
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (foot) said he has a severe bone bruise in his foot. It's unclear how much time Kiermaier will miss, but it's probably safe to say he won't be playing on Saturday. Kiermaier has played in only 36 games this year due to injury and has hit only .183 with two home runs, 11 RBI and six stolen bases. He's less appealing while he's beat up with injuries, but he can help out with steals in deeper leagues. A foot injury won't be good for his base stealing, thou[...]

This was only the third multi-hit game of the season for Kiermaier who is batting .179 in 2018. The center fielder hit 15 home runs and stole 16 bases last season.
