Kiermaier went 2-for-2 with an RBI single, a triple and a walk in a win over the Yankees on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier wreaked his fair share of havoc on Yankees pitching out of the bottom of the order, snapping a 1-1 tie in the second inning by plating Manuel Margot and also lacing his seventh triple of the season later in the game. The veteran outfielder's current .259 average is nothing to write home about, but in Kiermaier's case, it's noteworthy in that it qualifies as his highest figure in that category since 2017.

Kiermaier will sit Thursday against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier is ending the season on a strong note, posting a 1.010 OPS over his last 16 games. He'll get a rest Thursday, with Manuel Margot taking over in center field.

Kiermaier is on the bench for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Kiermaier went 3-for-3 with a triple, a double, three RBI and a walk in Friday's 8-0 win over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier knocked a two-run double in the fourth inning and added an RBI triple in the seventh. It was his first game with an RBI since Sep. 12 and his second three-hit outing in his last four appearances. The 31-year-old outfielder improved his slash line to .255/.321/.381 with 36 RBI and 28 extra-base hits.

Kiermaier went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-4 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier notched three base hits and came around to score on a Yandy Diaz three-run homer in the fifth inning. He also notched his ninth steal of the year. The 31-year-old had a pretty awful first half of the season at the plate but has turned things around, as he's slashing .316/.385/.516 with two homers, 11 RBI, 24 runs scored, two steals and 12:23 BB:K over 36 games since Aug. 1.

Kiermaier (illness) will return to the lineup Monday against the Blue Jays, batting ninth and playing center field, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier spent Saturday on the COVID-19 injured list but returned to the roster Sunday, though he wasn't in the starting lineup. He'll be involved from the start this time around and will look to continue a strong stretch run which has seen him hit .291/.348/.506 over his last 30 games.

Kiermaier (illness) entered Sunday's loss to the Tigers as a pinch runner for Nelson Cruz in the bottom of the eighth inning but did not log a plate appearance.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier was activated earlier Sunday after a one-day stay on the COVID-19 injured list, with the green light coming as a result of the outfielder never testing positive for the virus. The fact Kiermaier was experiencing some virus-like symptoms is what saddled him briefly with that designation, but he was apparently feeling well enough Sunday to be available off the bench. However, with southpaw Robbie Ray scheduled to take the hill for the Blue Jays on Monday, the left-handed-hitting Kiermaier's return to the starting lineup may not occur until Tuesday at the earliest.

Kiermaier was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brett Phillips and Manuel Margot could see an uptick in playing time in center field until Kiermaier returns.
