Kevin Kiermaier Put On 10-Day Injured List
1 year agoThe Toronto Blue Jays placed outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (elbow) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 7) with a right-elbow laceration on Tuesday and recalled outfielder Nathan Lukes from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Kiermaier was injured on Sunday while crashing into the outfield wall and required stitches for his laceration. The 33-year-old should be able to return to Toronto when he's eligible next weekend. While he doesn't have much power, Kiermaier has had a resurgent season with the Blue Jays in 2023, slashing .274/.336/.415 with five home runs, 27 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 41 runs scored in 270 at-bats. Daulton Varsho is getting the start in center field for the Blue Jays on Tuesday.
