Kevin Kiermaier Out At Least Two Months Due To Hip Fracture

Rays center fielder Kevin Kiermaier will miss at least the next two months due to a fracture in his right hip, reports Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times (on Twitter).

Kiermaier suffered a hip injury when sliding into first base to avoid a collision with Jose Abreu last night and quickly exited the game, as Topkin wrote this morning. He was seen on crutches following last night’s contest and was undergoing a series of tests this morning, including an MRI, CT scan and x-rays. Topkin expects Mallex Smith to be recalled from Triple-A in place of Kiermaier.
