Kiermaier (thumb) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Tuesday, Bill Chastain of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move will have little effect on Kiermaier's return date, as he's already expected to miss a minimum of eight weeks with a torn ligament in his thumb. He was removed from the 40-man roster in order to clear a spot for Brandon Snyder, who was called up to replace the injured Matt Duffy (hamstring).

Kiermaier was diagnosed with a torn ligament in his right thumb and will undergo surgery, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. He is expected to miss 8-12 weeks as a result.

EDGE Analysis

This is a brutal blow for Kiermaier, who is set to miss extended time for a third consecutive season due to injury -- he missed 61 games with a fractured hip in 2017 and 48 games in 2016 due to a broken wrist. The 27-year-old suffered the injury while sliding headfirst into second base during Sunday's game against the Phillies, and subsequent tests revealed ligament damage that would require him to go under the knife. The Rays haven't announced a possible timetable for his return at this point, but early indications are that he'll be sidelined for at least seven weeks. For comparison, Mike Trout missed around six weeks last season after sustaining a similar injury to his non-throwing hand. Seeing as Kiermaier sustained the injury to his throwing hand, a longer absence should be expected. Expect a more concrete timetable to emerge in the coming days. In the meantime, look for Johnny Field and Rob Refsnyder to see more playing time while Kiermaier is sidelined.

Kiermaier (finger) will receive an MRI on Monday, Bill Chastain of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although a more definitive timeframe for Kiermaier's return should become available after Monday's examination, it appears the center fielder could be facing an extended absence. The 27-year-old indicated that he expects he'll be out for awhile after exiting Sunday's game with what was diagnosed as a sprained right thumb. Should he land on the DL, Johnny Field and Rob Refsnyder could be in line to see more time in the Rays' outfield.

Kiermaier suffered a right thumb sprain that forced him to exit Sunday's matchup against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier was replaced by Johnny Field in the contest. He had been 1-for-1 with a run scored prior to exiting. Look for the team to conduct further testing, while Kiermaier should be considered day-to-day in advance of Monday's series opener against Texas.

Kiermaier went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

It's his first multi-hit performance of the season. Kiermaier's .143/.234/.214 slash line with 18 strikeouts through 11 games is well below expectations, but his defense will keep him in the lineup while he works his way out of his slump.

Kiermaier (foot) will play center field and bat second against the White Sox on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier missed the first two games of this series after fouling a ball off his foot against the Red Sox on Sunday, though he appears to be fully operational heading into the finale in Chicago. The outfielder will receive another day off Thursday before the Rays begin a series with Philadelphia, so Kiermaier should face no limitations moving forward if all goes according to plan Wednesday.

Kiermaier (foot) was still wearing a walking boot after Tuesday's game but both he and manager Kevin Cash stated the outfielder would be in the lineup Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier was reportedly available off the bench if needed Tuesday, although he never entered the game. There had apparently been some thought to holding him out of Wednesday's contest as well with Thursday's off day looming, but Cash seems to echo Kiermaier's sentiment that he'll be in uniform for the series finale against the White Sox.

Kiermaier could be available off the bench Tuesday against the White Sox as his foot is feeling better, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier fouled a ball off his foot Sunday and while he was able to finish the game, he sat out Monday's contest. He says he can put pressure on the foot Tuesday, and though he's not in the starting lineup, he may be available off the bench. He expects to be back in the lineup Wednesday for the series finale in Chicago.

Kiermaier (foot) said X-rays revealed no break and he hopes to play in a few days, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier, who is out of Monday's lineup against the White Sox, suffered the injury after fouling a ball off his right foot during Sunday's loss to the Red Sox. Fortunately, X-rays came back clean, and the 27-year-old said he's simply dealing with "a bone bruise." Kiermaier is hoping he can return to action as early as Tuesday, but his foot was still pretty swollen as of Monday, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Rays play it safe and give him more than a day to heal up.

Kiermaier (foot) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier fouled a ball off his foot during Sunday's series finale against the Red Sox, and while he was able to finish out the game, he was noticeably limping at times later in the game according to Topkin. The issue remains bothersome enough to keep him out Monday, with Denard Span, Carlos Gomez and Mallex Smith holding down the outfield (from left to right) in his stead. Kiermaier should be considered day-to-day until the Rays update his status, but Topkin noted there was a crutch and a walking boot in front of the outfielder's locker Monday morning, so it's possible he could be sidelined for more than a few days.
