KEVIN KIERMAIER NEWS

Moves into front-office role Kiermaier joined the Blue Jays' front office as a special assistant on Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact The veteran outfielder spent the majority of his career in Tampa Bay but was in Toronto for most of his final two seasons, and that's where he'll begin his post-playing career as a resource for outfielders. Kiermaier announced in July he would be retiring after the 2024 season, and he's apparently had no second thoughts following the completion of his 12th MLB campaign.

Bumped off roster Kiermaier is not on the Dodgers' World Series roster, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Kiermaier was included on the NLCS roster instead of Miguel Rojas (thigh), but Rojas is healthy enough to return to action for the World Series. He's announced he will retire after the season, so Kiermaier has played in his last major-league game, barring him being an injury replacement later in the series.

Makes NLCS roster Kiermaier (finger) is included on Los Angeles' roster for the NLCS versus the Mets, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Kiermaier dislocated his left ring finger late in the regular season and wasn't part of the Dodgers' NLDS victory over San Diego, but he's apparently now healthy and ready to play. The veteran outfielder came to Los Angeles at the trade deadline in a deal with Toronto, and over 34 contests with Los Angeles he posted a .203/.242/.322 slash line to go along with one home run, eight RBI, seven runs and a stolen base. Kiermaier announced earlier in the campaign that this will be his final season in the majors, and he'll have a chance to contribute to a World Series push as a reserve outfielder who is still capable of playing excellent defense.

Day-to-day with dislocated finger Manager Dave Roberts said after Saturday's 13-2 win over the Rockies that Kiermaier is day-to-day after dislocating his left ring finger, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kiermaier was seen grabbing his finger after sliding into second base on an attempt to extend his RBI single in the fourth inning into a double. He was able to pop his finger back in, but he was replaced by Andy Pages in the bottom of the frame.

Losing playing time to Edman Kiermaier will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact 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.

Takes seat Monday Kiermaier isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Seattle, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact 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.

Lifts fifth homer Kiermaier went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 7-6 win over the Cardinals.

Impact The homer was Kiermaier's 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.

Sitting out Thursday Kiermaier is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Milwaukee, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Andy Pages will occupy center field, as he and Kiermaier ended up splitting the starts at the position during the four-game set. Kiermaier has been the preferred option at the position of late, making six starts to Pages' three across the last nine contests.

AUGUST 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Picking up playing time Kiermaier will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Brewers.

Impact 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.

Picks up steal in win Kiermaier went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Pirates.

Impact 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.
