EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier gets a day of rest after going 3-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in the victory over Atlanta on Sunday. Daulton Varsho will play center field and hit fourth with Kiermaier on the bench.

Kiermaier went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-2 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran center fielder continues to look rejuvenated in Toronto. Kiermaier has stayed healthy, which is an accomplishment in itself -- he's played 100 or more games only twice in the last six seasons -- but he's also having a career-best campaign at the plate, slashing .311/.376/.481 with two homers, four steals, 12 RBI and 18 runs. His spot at the bottom of the Blue Jays' order does limit his fantasy ceiling, but he's already rewarded GMs who made a modest investment in him this spring.

Kiermaier went 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run homer in Sunday's 10-1 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier capped Toronto's scoring Sunday with a two-run shot off Chase De Jong in the ninth inning, his second homer of the year and first since April 11. The 33-year-old outfielder has been swinging a hot bat of late, going 7-for-19 over his last five games. He's now slashing .284/.340/.442 with nine extra-base hits, 12 RBI, 14 runs scored and two stolen bases through 104 plate appearances. While Kiermaier's .347 BABIP indicates some regression is likely, he should see a fairly regular role in Toronto, thanks to his excellent defense in center field.

Kiermaier is not in the Blue Jays' lineup for Friday's game in Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier will take a seat with the Pirates throwing left-hander Rich Hill. Daulton Varsho will slide over to center field, Whit Merrifield will play left and Santiago Espinal will get a start at second base.

Kiermaier went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran center fielder continues to stay healthy and relatively productive to begin his first season with the Blue Jays. Kiermaier has appeared in 25 of a possible 30 games so far, slashing .275/.326/.400 with one homer, two steals, eight RBI and 11 runs while almost exclusively hitting ninth in the order. His current .726 OPS would be his highest mark since 2017 if he can maintain it.
