BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: As a disclaimer, Kevin Kiermaier (back) was removed from Saturday's game with lower back discomfort. If he lands on the injured list, don't prioritize adding him. Assuming it's more of a day-to-day ailment, Kiermaier is worth a look.

Kiermaier is not getting enough credit for having, by far, the best offensive season of his career so far. He carries an outstanding .319/.366/.511 slash line with four home runs, three triples, nine doubles, and five stolen bases. Kiermaier's power-hitting metrics don't suggest he'll blow past his career-best 15-home run mark, but his .289 xBA implies a productive offensive approach all the same. Further, elite speed enables Kiermaier to create additional fantasy points in the form of extra-base hits and stolen bases.
