Kiermaier is starting in center field and batting ninth for Tuesday's game at Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Kiermaier sat out the previous four games due to an illness but is back in action for Tuesday's contest. The 34-year-old has played in just three games since he returned from the injured list May 4 and has gone 4-for-10 with a homer and four RBI.

Kiermaier (illness) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Kiermaier will miss out on a fourth consecutive start while he's apparently still under the weather, but he was able to make an appearance as a late-inning defensive replacement in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Twins. He'll presumably be available off the bench again Monday, provided he hasn't experienced any setbacks in his recovery from the ailment. Daulton Varsho will cover center field in Kiermaier's stead in the series opener in Baltimore.

Kiermaier (illness) remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Kiermaier will close the weekend without making a start during the Blue Jays' series with the Twins while he continues to recover from an illness. He felt well enough to enter Saturday's 10-8 win as a late-inning defensive replacement, so Kiermaier should be available off the bench again in the series finale.

Kiermaier went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran center fielder has been productive since returning from a hip issue May 4, going 4-for-10 in three games with a homer and four RBI. Kiermaier delivered a .741 OPS last season, his best mark since 2017, but he's had a sluggish start to the current campaign, slashing .224/.278/.299 through 25 contests.
