Kevin Kiermaier - On bench FridayKiermaier will sit Friday against the Twins, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
ImpactKiermaier started against a lefty (Packy Naughton) on Wednesday, something he hadn't done in nearly a month. He won't make it two starts in a row against southpaws, however, as he'll hit the bench here against Devin Smeltzer. Brett Phillips gets the start in center field.

Ji-Man Choi - Sits against southpawChoi will sit Friday against the Twins, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
ImpactChoi has made just a single start against a southpaw all season, so he'll unsurprisingly hit the bench here against lefty Devin Smeltzer. Harold Ramirez will handle first base Friday.
