CF Kiermaier expected Friday, welcome news for wounded Rays
Tampa Bay center fielder Kevin Kiermaier expects to return from a left hip injury Friday night at TorontoJUNE 28, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Begins rehab assignment Kiermaier (hip) went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored while playing six innings in center field Tuesday in a rehab game for the Rays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affili...
Impact The Rays placed Kiermaier on the 10-day injured list June 21 due to an inflamed left hip, but he appears to have responded well to the cortisone shot he received to address the swelling. His ability to start up a rehab assignment just one week after landing on the IL suggests that Kiermaier could be on track to rejoin the Rays when first eligible Friday. Once Kiermaier is back in the fold, Brett Phillips will likely move into a fourth-outfielder role for Tampa Bay.

Receives cortisone shot Kiermaier (hip) received a cortisone shot in his left hip, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Kiermaier was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday and revealed that he'd actually been dealing with a hip issue for over a year. This isn't his first cortisone shot, either, as he also received one during spring training. He hopes to be back after the minimum 10 days, however.

Formally placed on IL The Rays placed Kiermaier on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left hip inflammation.
Impact Kiermaier was one of two Tampa Bay outfielders to hit the IL on Tuesday, as Manuel Margot (knee) was also deactivated. Margot's injury is considered the more serious of the two, but Kiermaier's inflamed left hip will still keep him out for at least the next week and a half. Tampa Bay called up outfielder Luke Raley to replace Kiermaier on the 26-man active roster, but Brett Phillips is expected to serve as the primary fill-in for Kiermaier in center field.

Headed to IL Kiermaier (hip) is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list after exiting Monday night's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Kiermaier won't be available to return to play until the last day of June, though it's still unclear if he'll be sidelined for more than the minimum. With Manuel Margot (undisclosed) also going down Monday night, the Rays will have plenty of opportunities in the outfield for players like Brett Phillips and Josh Lowe.
