Kevin Kiermaier Rejoins Blue Jays Lineup
1 year agoToronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (back) has returned to the team's starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the visiting Boston Red Sox and right-hander Kutter Crawford. Kiermaier is starting in center field and batting ninth. The 33-year-old veteran outfielder was held out the last four games due to back spasms, but he's feeling better now and will patrol center field. DFS gamers will probably want to avoid him in the nine-hole. Fantasy managers in single-season leagues will be hoping that Kiermaier turns things around in July after he hit a measly .154 (8-for-52) with no home runs, two RBI and three stolen bases in 22 games in June. Still, his .276/.332/.444 slash line in his first year in Toronto has been useful, and he's also contributed eight stolen bases.
