5 years agoTampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (wrist) will not start Thursday's game, his second straight game out of the starting lineup. Although Kiermaier didn't start the team's previous game on Wednesday, he did enter in the eighth inning of the game as a pinch runner and went on to steal a base. The injury doesn't appear to be too serious. The fact that Thursday's game features the left-handed J.A. Happ on the mound against the Rays could be another factor in the decision to keep the left-handed Kiermaier out of the lineup.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
