Kevin Kiermaier On Track To Return Friday
1 year agoToronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (elbow) is on track to be activated from the injured list on Friday. He took batting practice on the field on Tuesday and said he felt good swinging a bat. It's good news for Kiermaier, considering he still has eight stitches in his right arm. Daulton Varsho has been playing center field of late for Toronto, but when healthy, Kiermaier has been the team's regular center fielder in 2023. The 33-year-old veteran is having a very solid season in his first year in Toronto, slashing .274/.336/.415 with five home runs, 13 doubles, five triples, 27 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 41 runs scored in 299 trips to the plate and 95 games played. Kiermaier has minimal power and his fantasy ceiling is limited, but he has appeal in deeper leagues for his speed in a potent Jays lineup.
