Kevin Kiermaier's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (finger) suffered a dislocated finger in Saturday evening's game, according to Bill Plunkett of the Southern California Newspaper Group. Plunkett further reported that outfielder James Outman has joined the Dodgers at Coors Field. Even though Andy Pages will cover center field on Sunday afternoon, seeing Outman up with the team could suggest Kiermaier may be expected to miss a few games during the playoffs. Fantasy managers participating in playoff contests should continue to monitor the Dodger starting nine during the playoffs, as Kiermaier may remain sidelined. DFS players should consider adding Pages to their lineups this afternoon, as he is carrying a strong .318 average across his past seven games.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kevin Kiermaier will head to the bench for Thursday's series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. Rookie Andy Pages will make the start in center field for the Blue and will bat eighth against Brewers right-hander Tobias Myers. While the veteran Kiermaier hasn't done much offensively this year between the Toronto Blue Jays and Dodgers, LA has preferred his glove in center field of late over Pages. The 34-year-old has hit just .200 (4-for-20) with a double, RBI and a stolen base in his first nine games for the Dodgers and can be left on the waiver wire in mixed fantasy leagues. Pages boasts much more offensive upside in fantasy but will be a low-upside DFS sleeper on Thursday out of the eight-hole.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kevin Kiermaier will make his Dodgers debut on Friday night against the Oakland Athletics and will hit eighth in the lineup. Acquired at the trade deadline from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for relief pitcher Ryan Yarbrough, Kiermaier will look to improve at the plate as his 54 OPS+ makes him a weak out at the bottom of a top-heavy Dodgers lineup. The 34-year-old should get plenty of chances to improve at the plate, though, given the Dodgers' inadequacy in the outfield outside of Teoscar Hernandez. Kiermaier also ranks in the 96th percentile of Fielding Run Value according to Statcast, so if he can't provide value at the plate he should still bring the Dodgers value with his glove. Fantasy managers may want to steer clear, though, since fielding value doesn't equate to fantasy value.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier has been traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday. The 34-year-old recently said he plans to retire after the 2024 season. It appears he'll get a chance to go out as a champion with the Dodgers. Kiermaier has been terrible with the bat this season but continues to play solid defense. That being said, he'll probably serve as a bench bat and late-game defensive replacement for the Dodgers. In exchange, the Blue Jays will receive left-hander Ryan Yarbrough. The veteran left-hander has a 3.74 ERA across 32 appearances with the Dodgers this season.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier is expected to retire after the 2024 season. The 34-year-old has played 12 seasons in the big leagues. Kiermaier spent the first 10 years of his career with the Tampa Bay Rays. He has played with the Blue Jays each of the last two seasons. The veteran outfielder was placed on waivers a few weeks ago after struggling during the first few months of the season. He's still a solid defensive outfielder but his bat has seen a significant drop in production. Best of luck to him after he hangs up his cleats following the 2024 campaign.
