ST. PETERSBURG -- For the next five days, Kevin Kiermaier has to make sure he doesn't sweat. The Gold Glover with a fractured left hand isn't a fan of all the planned downtime that he has lying in wait for the next two months, but he doesn't have much of a choice.
Because his surgical cut is still somewhat exposed, Kiermaier can't jog or throw -- or anything that will risk his body perspiring and the cut being infected. So for the next five days, Tampa Bay's center fielder is limited to hand exercises and core rotations.
