2024 Fantasy Outlook
Kiermaier proved to be a good fit in Toronto last season and will return to the club on a one-year, $10 million deal for 2024. While not known for his durability, Kiermaier appeared in 129 games last season, matching the second-highest total of his career. His .419 SLG was his highest mark since 2017 and Kiermaier provided value on the bases, swiping 14 bags in 15 tries. He won a Gold Glove in center field last season at 33 years old -- his fourth Gold Glove -- and added multiple catches to his silly career highlight reel. That defense will keep him on the field, and Kiermaier handles himself well enough against lefty pitching to avoid a strict platoon, though health remains a big concern. If he manages to stay upright, a return to double-digit homers and steals is not out of the question. Read Past Outlooks
Rejoining lineup Tuesday
Kiermaier is starting in center field and batting ninth for Tuesday's game at Baltimore.
ANALYSIS
Kiermaier sat out the previous four games due to an illness but is back in action for Tuesday's contest. The 34-year-old has played in just three games since he returned from the injured list May 4 and has gone 4-for-10 with a homer and four RBI.

This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Candidate for IL stint
Kiermaier -- who departed Tuesday's contest against the Royals with left hip flexor soreness -- could be a candidate for a stint on the injured list, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
The Blue Jays have referred to the outfielder as day-to-day, but Addison Barger -- who is capable of playing the outfield -- is expected to be added to the active roster Wednesday, per Nicholson-Smith. If Kiermaier does indeed need to miss time, Daulton Varsho would likely slide over to center field while Davis Schneider could see an uptick in playing time in left field.

Kiermaier required hip surgery and was limited to 63 games last season, and the Rays declined his $13 million team option for 2023. He then landed a one-year, $9 million deal with the Blue Jays. He remains a strong defensive presence in center field and has a 96 wRC+ over the past three seasons with 23 steals during that stretch. That's mostly the limit of Kiermaier's fantasy appeal as he's hit above .250 just once in the past five years, and he's unlikely to rack up much for counting stats at the bottom of Toronto's order. He's not expected to fill a platoon, so he'll at least be a lineup regular to start the season.
