2024 Fantasy Outlook
Kiermaier proved to be a good fit in Toronto last season and will return to the club on a one-year, $10 million deal for 2024. While not known for his durability, Kiermaier appeared in 129 games last season, matching the second-highest total of his career. His .419 SLG was his highest mark since 2017 and Kiermaier provided value on the bases, swiping 14 bags in 15 tries. He won a Gold Glove in center field last season at 33 years old -- his fourth Gold Glove -- and added multiple catches to his silly career highlight reel. That defense will keep him on the field, and Kiermaier handles himself well enough against lefty pitching to avoid a strict platoon, though health remains a big concern. If he manages to stay upright, a return to double-digit homers and steals is not out of the question. Read Past Outlooks
On base four times Wednesday
Kiermaier went 3-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
The veteran center fielder kept flipping the lineup over from the ninth slot in the order as he produced just his second multi-hit performance of the season. Kiermaier's had a slow start to the season at the plate but has begun to come around, batting .296 (8-for-27) over his last 10 games with a double, a steal, an RBI and four runs scored. His strong-side platoon role and his spot at the bottom of the batting order limit his fantasy appeal, but Kiermaier still has some value in AL-only formats.

Stat Review
How does Kevin Kiermaier compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Active interest from Yankees
Brendan Kuty and Chris Kirschner of The Athletic report that the Yankees have "discussed" Kiermaier as a free-agent target.
ANALYSIS
New York needs a stopgap in center field while Jasson Dominguez recovers from Tommy John surgery, and Kiermaier would make sense as an elite defender who could back up all three outfield spots whenever Dominguez returns. The 33-year-old Kiermaier registered a .741 OPS with eight homers and 14 steals over 129 games for the Blue Jays in 2023 and earned his fourth career Gold Glove Award.

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.
