EDGE Analysis

The Rays are taking on a southpaw (CC Sabathia) in the series finale, so Kiermaier and fellow lefty hitter Joey Wendle will check out of the lineup.

Kiermaier went 1-for-4 with an RBI triple in a win over the Angels on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier laced his fifth three-bagger of the season in the second to plate Yandy Diaz and snap a 1-1 tie. The speedy outfielder has now hit safely in six straight games and has impressively boosted his average 18 points to .256 since June 6.

Kiermaier entered Friday's win over the Angels as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the sixth inning and went 1-for-2 with an RBI single, a stolen base and two runs.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier was initially called on to hit for Mike Zunino in the sixth and delivered with a single that plated Ji-Man Choi. The left-handed-hitting outfielder had originally gotten the night off with southpaw Andrew Heaney on the mound for the Angels, but his eventual insertion into the contest allowed him to extend a modest hitting streak to four games, a stretch during which he's also now recorded a stolen base in three consecutive contests. Kiermaier is enjoying a productive month at the plate overall, with Friday's production pushing his average in June to .298.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a win over the Athletics on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier's 416-foot shot to right with Yandy Diaz aboard in the seventh extended the Rays' lead to 4-0 at the time. The Platinum Glove outfielder's acrobatic grab of a Jurickson Profar drive preceded his offensive fireworks in the top half of the frame. Kiermaier is enjoying a strong offensive start to June, as he's now 11-for-37 over his first nine games of the month and has a trio of multi-hit efforts over the last five contests.

Kiermaier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

After turning in a three-hit, four-RBI performance in Friday's series opener, Kiermaier's production was much more muted in Saturday's doubleheader. While starting the two contests, Kiermaier managed only one hit across nine at-bats. With a southpaw (Eduardo Rodriguez) on the hill for Boston in the series finale, Kiermaier and two of the Rays' other lefty-hitting regulars (Austin Meadows and Ji-Man Choi) will take a seat.

Kiermaier went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 5-1 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Ji-Man Choi got the Rays on the board with a solo shot in the second inning, but after that it was the Kiermaier Show as the center fielder drove in two with a single in the fourth before adding another RBI single in the sixth and a solo homer of his own in the ninth. The 29-year-old is slashing .255/.316/.454 with seven home runs, 10 steals, 27 RBI and 28 runs.

Kiermaier went 2-for-3 with a double and a run in a win over the Tigers on Thursday. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier was gunned down on his one steal attempt, but he was otherwise productive while hitting safely for the ninth time in his last 10 games. The outfielder's .245/.308/.432 season line still has plenty of room for improvement, but Kiermaier has boosted all three components of it by at least 20 points since May 15.
