The Blue Jays announced that outfielder has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to August 7, due to a right elbow laceration. Fellow outfielder was recalled in a corresponding move. Kiermaier collided with the center field wall in Fenway Park on Sunday while making a catch. He required eight stitches, per , though manager John Schneider said there were no structural concerns and that Kiermaier was considered day-to-day. Now it seems the club will give him an extra week-plus to rest his arm and get into game shape. Hes having yet another excellent defensive season, having earned 13 Defensive Runs Saved and eight Outs Above Average on the year, as well as a mark of 4.1 from Ultimate Zone Rating. His bat is also above average, as hes slashing .274/.336/.415 on the year for a 109 wRC+. Thats been a bit frontloaded, as he hit .319/. Daniel Murphy Jersey 365/.521 through the end of May but just .222/.303/.294 since the start of June. Nonethele s, its been a strong season overall for the 33-year-old. With Kiermaier out, the club will likely rely on as the everyday center fielder. Hes hitting just .218/.280/.367 this season though has shown some recent signs of life. Hes hit .320/.370/.600 since July 30, though in a small sample of just nine games. Even with the tepid offense, hes provided 19 DRS, 6.1 UZR and 5 OAA, along with 12 steals, though the Jays would surely love for his bat to stay hot for an extended stretch. With Varsho in center and in right, left field could be covered by some combination of Lukes, , and . Lukes has hit just .190/.280/.333 through his first 25 major league plate appearances but has a strong .333/.414/.564 line in Triple-A this year. Hes mostly played the corners but has seen some time in center in the minors, allowing him to serve as Varshos backup, though Merrifield and Biggio also have some experience there.
