Kevin Kiermaier Getting A Breather On Thursday
3 years agoTampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against left-hander Nestor Cortes and the New York Yankees. Yandy Diaz will be leading off while Manuel Margot will be patrolling center field. Kiermaier has been red hot at the plate lately. Over his last six games, he's tallied three home runs, six RBI and seven runs. We should see Kiermaier sitting against lefties rather often, especially with Margot back in action. Kiermaier has a career .662 OPS against southpaws, compared to a career .743 OPS against righties.
