Kiermaier isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup Thursday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier is 3-for-15 with a homer and three RBI since returning from the injured list Friday, and he'll get a breather for Thursday's series finale. Daulton Varsho will slide to center field in Kiermaier's absence, moving Whit Merrifield into left while Cavan Biggio starts at the keystone.

Kiermaier went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

The center fielder got a five-homer barrage for the Blue Jays started when he took Hunter Greene deep in the second inning. It was Kiermaier's first hit in two starts since coming off the IL on Friday, but since the All-Star break he still sports a solid .271/.333/.407 slash line in 24 games with two home runs, one steal, eight runs and 10 RBI.

Kiermaier will head to the bench Saturday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier returned from a minimum-length trip to the injured list Friday after recovering from an elbow laceration. The veteran outfielder won't be asked to start on consecutive days immediately following his return, so it will be Daulton Varsho in center field Saturday with Whit Merrifield in Varsho's usual spot in left.

Toronto activated Kiermaier (elbow) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier was out for exactly 10 days because of a right elbow laceration. He is starting in center field and batting ninth in his return to the Blue Jays' active roster Friday night against the Reds.

Kiermaier (elbow) said he expects to be activated from the injured list Friday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier took batting practice on the field ahead of Tuesday's game against Philadelphia, and he said he felt good swinging despite still having eight stitches in his right arm. The 33-year-outfielder is slashing .294/.362/.392 since the All-Star break and will slide back in as Toronto's primary center fielder once he returns from the IL.

Toronto placed Kiermaier on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Aug. 7, with a right elbow laceration.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier required eight stitches around his elbow after colliding with the outfield wall Sunday against the Red Sox and will now officially be sidelined until at least next weekend. Nathan Lukes is joining the Blue Jays' outfield mix Tuesday in a corresponding roster move.

Kiermaier (elbow) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier will need at least one game off to recover from the right elbow laceration he suffered in Sunday's 13-1 win over the Red Sox. He required eight stitches to seal the wound, but the injury isn't believed to be anything that will force the veteran outfielder to the injured list. With Kiermaier on the bench Monday, upstart rookie Davis Schneider will be awarded a fourth straight start, this time in left field after he had previously played second base in the last three contests.

Kiermaier was removed from Sunday's 13-1 win over the Red Sox in the sixth inning due to a right elbow laceration, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports. He went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run before he was removed from the contest.

EDGE Analysis

Kiermaier opened a wound on his elbow when he collided with the outfield wall while flagging down a Luis Urias flyball. He required eight stitches to close the gash on his elbow and is considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener in Cleveland. Daulton Varsho will likely serve as the Blue Jays' primary center fielder if Kiermaier needs to miss any length of time.

Kiermaier is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Right-hander John Schreiber is opening the contest for Boston, but lefty Chris Murphy is expected to work as the primary pitcher. Daulton Varsho will shift to center field with Kiermaier on the bench while Whit Merrifield starts in left.

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

EDGE Analysis

Though he drew the start in center field against Angels lefty Reid Detmers in Saturday's 6-1 win and went 1-for-4 with a run scored, the lefty-hitting Kiermaier will bow out of the starting nine Sunday while Los Angeles brings another southpaw (Tyler Anderson) to the hill. Daulton Varsho replaces Kiermaier in center field and as the Blue Jays' No. 9 batter.
