Kiermaier leaves game after suffering hairline foot fracture

Kevin Kiermaier's injury woes continued on Wednesday as the Tampa Bay Rays outfielder left the club's contest against the New York Yankees after suffering a hairline fracture in his right foot.

Kiermaier was hit by a pitch from Masahiro Tanaka in the first inning but remained in the game until the fourth. The team announced shortly afterward that an X-ray revealed the fracture.

It's the latest setback for the veteran, who missed a number of games with a bone bruise in his foot earlier this season. He's also been sidelined with a back injury and has appeared in just 87 games.
