ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Injured Tampa Bay center fielder Kevin Kiermaier had an eventful week during the Rays’ final regular-season homestand. He was the third person in the TV booth for Wednesday night’s game against Houston, and got a video tribute during Saturday night’s game with Toronto. The 32-year-old Kiermaier, in the final season of a $53.5 million, six-year contract agreed to in March 2017, faces an uncertain offseason following season-ending left hip surgery nearly two months ago. The Rays have a team option for 2023, which they will likely decline.
