Kiermaier (hip) is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list after exiting Monday night's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kiermaier won't be available to return to play until the last day of June, though it's still unclear if he'll be sidelined for more than the minimum. With Manuel Margot (undisclosed) also going down Monday night, the Rays will have plenty of opportunities in the outfield for players like Brett Phillips and Josh Lowe.

Kiermaier was removed from Monday's game against the Yankees due to left hip inflammation, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kiermaier was removed following his first at-bat of the game, though it's hard to say if the injury occurred during his lone at-bat. The Rays should know more about the severity of his injury over the next few days.

Kiermaier went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI single and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-0 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Kiermaier recorded his third straight multi-hit game in this outing. He also notched a steal for the second time in four contests, and his homer was his first since May 24. The outfielder's .229/.260/.392 slash line for the season doesn't inspire much confidence, and he's added seven homers, 17 RBI, 25 runs scored and five stolen bases in 51 contests. He'll continue to patrol center field against right-handed pitchers and the occasional southpaw.

Kiermaier will sit Friday against the Twins, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kiermaier started against a lefty (Packy Naughton) on Wednesday, something he hadn't done in nearly a month. He won't make it two starts in a row against southpaws, however, as he'll hit the bench here against Devin Smeltzer. Brett Phillips gets the start in center field.
