Loss of Defense

The Rays lose one of their best defensive players, Kevin Kiermaier:

Tampa Bay Rays center fielder Kevin Kiermaier had surgery Friday to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb and will be sidelined for two to three months.

Kiermaier was injured sliding headfirst into second base during a 10-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.

This is the third straight season the two-time Gold Glove winner will miss significant time because of injury.

On the other hand, Kiermaier’s offense was so bad to start the season that the Rays might wind up with a big improvement at the position.
