2023 Fantasy Outlook
Kiermaier required hip surgery and was limited to 63 games last season, and the Rays declined his $13 million team option for 2023. He then landed a one-year, $9 million deal with the Blue Jays. He remains a strong defensive presence in center field and has a 96 wRC+ over the past three seasons with 23 steals during that stretch. That's mostly the limit of Kiermaier's fantasy appeal as he's hit above .250 just once in the past five years, and he's unlikely to rack up much for counting stats at the bottom of Toronto's order. He's not expected to fill a platoon, so he'll at least be a lineup regular to start the season. Read Past Outlooks

On base three times Monday
Kiermaier went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Monday's loss to the Astros.
ANALYSIS
The hits were his first in June, but the veteran center fielder has been surprisingly productive this season despite being a fixture at the bottom of the batting order for the Blue Jays. Over 27 games since the beginning of May, Kiermaier is slashing .326/.372/.558 with 12 extra-base hits (seven doubles, two triples and three homers), four steals, eight RBI and 15 runs.

The longest-tenured and most expensive member of the Tampa Bay roster did his usual stuff again in 2021, in ever aspect of the game. He continues to play center field at an elite level while taking advantage of his speed to take the extra base or to leg out some infield grounders. The other thing he continues to excel at is missing time with injury, as he failed to reach the 500 plate appearance level for a fifth consecutive full season of play. He missed time in 2021 with quad, wrist and knee troubles and needed arthroscopic knee surgery in October to fully put the knee issue to rest. He turns 32 in late April, but runs the risk of aging quickly given he's spent his entire career playing home games at a taxing position on a taxing surface. His plate skills continue to be limited in his troubles with velocity up, sweepers away and a growing case of reverse splits.
