ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays placed center fielder Kevin Kiermaier on the COVID-19-related IL due to general illness symptoms, and purchased the contract of right-hander Joey Krehbiel from Triple-A Durham before Saturday’s game against Detroit.
Kiermaier was pinch hit for during the sixth inning of Friday night’s 7-4, 10-inning win over the Tigers.
The defensive wizard is hitting .247 with four homers and 33 RBIs in 110 games.
