Kevin Kiermaier Out With Wrist Issue
11 months agoToronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (wrist) is not in the team's starting lineup on Friday against the Minnesota Twins. Kiermaier will get a day of rest after leaving Thursday's contest early against the Houston Astros after he was hit in the left wrist by a pitch. Thankfully, X-rays came back negative, so Kiermaier is just day-to-day and could be back in the lineup on Saturday. The 33-year-old left-handed hitter is having a solid year at the plate so far with a .296 average (48-for-162) with 10 doubles, four triples, four home runs, 16 RBI and five stolen bases in 180 plate appearances, but he's only picked up two hits in 18 at-bats (.111 average) in eight games since the calendar flipped to July. Daulton Varsho is starting in center field on Friday and is batting sixth against Twins right-hander Sonny Gray.
