Kiermaier went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
He took Masahiro Tanaka deep in the fifth inning to tie the game at 2-2 before things went downhill for the Rays. Kiermaier is on a heater, homering in three straight games and extending his hit and RBI streaks to four, but those are his only long balls on the year.

Kiermaier went 1-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run in Monday's 5-3 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
He took Gerrit Cole deep in the second inning, Kiermaier's second homer in as many games. Those are his only two long balls so far in 2020 though, and the brittle center fielder is slashing .236/.346/.382 through 31 games -- putting him on pace for a third straight campaign with an SLG under .400.

Kiermaier, who'd gone 1-for-4 with an RBI single in his return from a back injury Saturday, went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in a win over the Marlins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The defensive-minded outfielder made his presence felt in the rout by slugging his first homer of the season to cap off a three-run fifth inning. Kiermaier's bat has shown some signs of life as August has unfolded, and he'll enter the final game of the month Monday slashing .262/.384/.393 since the calendar flipped.

Kiermaier was removed from Wednesday's game against the Orioles with back spasms, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old was removed from Wednesday's contest and after appearing to aggravate the foot injury he suffered earlier this week, but he was actually dealing with back spasms. Kiermaier should be considered day-to-day while he recovers from the injury.

Kiermaier (foot) was removed from Wednesday's game against the Orioles with an apparent injury, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old suffered a foot injury during Monday's contest, and he appears to have aggravated the injury Wednesday. Kiermaier went 0-for-1 prior to exiting and should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.

Kiermaier (foot) entered Tuesday's win over the Orioles as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and subsequently went hitless in his one at-bat.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder wasn't in the starting nine but declared available off the bench by manager Kevin Cash, and the fact Kiermaier was indeed able to take the field is certainly encouraging. He should be available without restriction moving forward.
