Kiermaier, who exited Friday's 6-5 loss to the Marlins with right foot discomfort, revealed after the contest that he's dealing with a severe bone bruise, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier was removed in the fifth inning and indicated that he had been dealing with lingering pain in the foot since fouling a ball off it back on April 8, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports. The outfielder noted that the pain he felt Friday was the "worst" he has experienced this season, though he's optimistic that he'll only need to miss "a couple games" as a result of the setback. The Rays will evaluate Kiermaier on Saturday and determine if the 28-year-old requires a trip to the disabled list.

Kiermaier exited Friday's tilt against the Marlins due to right foot discomfort.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier was likely removed as a precaution, and he'll be listed as day-to-day until more information becomes known. He'll be reevaluated prior to Saturday's matchup to determine his status moving forward.

Kiermaier went 1-for-5 with a triple, a walk and a run in an extra-inning win over the Tigers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier laced his third three-bagger of the season in the 10th inning and subsequently crossed the plate with the winning run on Daniel Robertson's single. It was a rare taste of offensive success for the 28-year-old outfielder, who'd sat out Sunday's game with back tightness and has slashed just .145/.244/.261 across the 78 plate appearances over the 17 games he's played since returning from thumb surgery.

Kiermaier (back) is starting in center field and leading off Monday against the Tigers, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

EDGE Analysis

He sat out Sunday's game with back tightness, but it was apparently a minor ailment. Kiermaier is hitting .141/.236/.234 with one home run and five steals in 16 games since returning from the disabled list. His 29.2 percent strikeout rate over that stretch is a little concerning, but better days are likely ahead, and it's nice to see him contributing on the bases even while struggling to reach base.

Kiermaier is out of the Rays' lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets due to back tightness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rays are viewing Kiermaier's injury as a day-to-day concern for now, though a trip to the disabled list is still within the realm of possibility if he fails to notice much improvement in the near future. Mallex Smith will pick up a start in center field for Kiermaier in the series finale.

Kiermaier went 1-for-5 with a stolen base Saturday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier's effort was unremarkable aside from him recording his sixth stolen base of the season. Since coming off the disabled list on June 19, he has attempted six stolen bases and been successful on five occasions. Though the rest of his stat-line lags behind, if he continues to run at this rate, he will force his way into fantasy relevance.

Kiermaier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

After being activated from the 60-day disabled list June 19, Kiermaier had started 10 consecutive games in center field, going 6-for-38 (.158 average) while striking out 13 times. The 28-year-old is now slashing a woeful .160/.269/.259 across 93 plate appearances, but his Gold Glove-caliber defense will continue to earn him an everyday spot in the lineup. He'll get a breather for the series finale, however, opening up a spot in the outfield for Johnny Field.

Kiermaier, who went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk in a win over the Nationals on Monday, has now hit safely in three straight games .

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier came up empty at the plate in his first three games since returning from an extended absence due to thumb surgery, going 0-for-13 during that stretch. While he's still searching for the first multi-hit effort of his injury-shortened season heading into Tuesday's matinee contest versus the Nationals, Kiermaier has now hit in three consecutive games, with a triple in addition to Monday's homer and four RBI.

Kiermaier went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run in a win over the Yankees on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier finally broke through with a single after going hitless in his first three games since returning from an extended stint on the disabled list due to thumb surgery. The outfielder has a long way to go with respect to getting his numbers up to respectable levels, as his line still sits at .136/.227/.186 following Saturday's production.

Kiermaier, who went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in a loss to the Astros on Wednesday, is 0-for-9 overall in his two games since returning from the disabled list due to a thumb injury.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier was sidelined just over two months, so it's little surprise he's struggling with his timing at the plate. The Gold Glover also hadn't had much of a chance to get acclimated to the new season before his injury, as he'd suited up for only 12 games before hurting his thumb. Now back at full health, he'll look to improve on an early line that sits at a dreadful .135/.211/.192 across his first 57 plate appearances of 2018.
