Kevin Kiermaier not starting for Tampa Bay on Monday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the Cleveland Indians.

What It Means:

Mallex Smith is moving from left field to center field, sending Kiermaier to the bench.

Kiermaier is averaging 9.2 FanDuel points per game and is projected to hit .250 in 44 remaining plate appearances this year. He seems to be heating up after struggling for much of the season. Kiermaier had a .580 OPS through August, but is hitting .520 with a 1.596 OPS in September.
