Rays Lose Kevin Kiermaier, Mike Zunino to Season-Ending Surgeries

The Rays will be without centerfielder Kevin Kiermaier and catcher Mike Zunino for the remainder of the season, the team said Monday.

Kiermaier is scheduled to undergo surgery on the labrum in his left hip early next month. Zunino is slated to have thoracic outlet syndrome surgery to repair weakness and tingling in his left shoulder.

Both players are in the final guaranteed year of their respective contracts with Tampa Bay, so it’s possible that neither will be back with the Rays in 2023.

Kiermaier, 32, is a three-time Gold Glove winner who has been out of action since July 9.
