Dodgers' Kevin Kiermaier: Losing playing time to Edman
Kiermaier will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Though he'll pick up his second start in a row Sunday, Kiermaier has faded into more of a part-time role after serving as the Dodgers' primary option in center field through the first three weeks of August. Tommy Edman has since taken over as the Dodgers' preferred center fielder, but manager Dave Roberts will make room for both Kiermaier and Edman on Sunday while the latter fills in at shortstop for a resting Miguel Rojas.

Dodgers' Kevin Kiermaier: Takes seat Monday
Kiermaier isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Seattle, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Tommy Edman is fresh off the injured list and will draw the start in center field Monday night, booting Kiermaier to the bench. Manager Dave Roberts said before the game that Edman will start at shortstop Tuesday, per Vassegh, meaning Kiermaier will likely be back in center field for the second game of the series.

Dodgers' Kevin Kiermaier: Lifts fifth homer
Kiermaier went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 7-6 win over the Cardinals.
Kiermaier's three-run homer was his first since July 14, and it gave the Dodgers just enough breathing room in the sixth inning. The outfielder hasn't done much at the plate in August, going 6-for-24 (.250) over 11 contests. He's up to a .201/.244/.321 slash line with five homers, 23 RBI, six stolen bases and 27 runs scored across 245 plate appearances between the Dodgers and the Blue Jays this year. Kiermaier continues to see a slight edge for playing time in center field over Andy Pages.

Dodgers' Kevin Kiermaier: Sitting out Thursday
Kiermaier is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Milwaukee, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Andy Pages will occupy center field, as he and Kiermaier ended up splitting the starts at the position during the four-game set against the Brewers. Kiermaier has been the preferred option at the position of late, making six starts to Pages' three across the last nine contests.

Dodgers' Kevin Kiermaier: Picking up playing time
Kiermaier will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Brewers.
Kiermaier will occupy center for the fifth time in six games, with two of his starts coming against left-handed pitching. The Dodgers seem to be favoring Kiermaier over Andy Pages at the moment, with the former's superior defense giving him the edge in playing time while the latter has been slumping at the plate. Kiermaier is batting just 1-for-13 with six strikeouts since joining the Dodgers at the trade deadline and is slashing .188/.233/.296 on the season, so fantasy managers likely won't be able to extract much value from him even if he continues to play ahead of Pages.

Dodgers' Kevin Kiermaier: Picks up steal in win
Kiermaier went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Pirates.
Kiermaier led off the bottom of the seventh with a single before going on to swipe his sixth bag of the campaign. It marked the outfielder's first hit since being acquired by the Dodgers at the start of August, while the stolen base was his first since June 19 against the Red Sox (as a member of the Blue Jays). Though not an everyday player, Kiermaier could prove to be useful for the Dodgers at times, given his defensive prowess and speed on the basepaths.

Dodgers' Kevin Kiermaier: Heading to Hollywood
The Dodgers acquired Kiermaier on Tuesday in exchange for left-hander Ryan Yarbrough, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Kiermaier confirmed last week that 2024 will be his final season in the majors, and he'll get the chance to chase his first World Series ring while he links up with one of the top teams in the Senior Circuit. The 34-year-old outfielder has put up a .546 OPS through 217 plate appearances this season and likely won't be an everyday player for Los Angeles, but he could make occasional starts in center field to give Andy Pages a breather.

Blue Jays' Kevin Kiermaier: Playing in Game 2 of doubleheader
Kiermaier (hip) will start in center field and bat eighth in the second game of Monday's doubleheader against Baltimore.
Kiermaier was removed in the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Rangers after bruising his left hip when he collided with the outfield wall. He sat out the Blue Jays' 11-5 loss in the first game of Monday's doubleheader, but the injury won't prevent him from playing in the nightcap. For the month of July, Kiermaier has slashed .182/.217/.364 with two home runs and six RBI across 46 plate appearances.

Blue Jays' Kevin Kiermaier: On bench for Game 1 of twin bill
Kiermaier (hip) is out of the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader with the Orioles.
Kiermaier suffered a left hip contusion in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Rangers, so it's not particularly surprising that he's on the bench while the Blue Jays face a quick turnaround for the first game of the twin bill. With a left-hander (Cade Povich) set to start for the Orioles in Game 2, the lefty-hitting Kiermaier seems likely to remain out of the lineup for that contest as well.

Kiermaier was diagnosed with a left hip contusion after leaving Sunday's game against the Rangers, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The veteran outfielder suffered the injury during the sixth inning when he had a hard collision with the outfield wall. Kiermaier appears to have avoided a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's doubleheader at Baltimore.

Blue Jays' Kevin Kiermaier: Leaves after wall collison
Kiermaier was removed from Sunday's game against the Rangers after colliding with the wall in the outfield, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Kiermaier suffered the injury during the top of the sixth inning and initially remained in the contest, but he was lifted in the bottom of the frame after he recorded a two-out single. The veteran outfielder should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.
