Kevin Kiermaier is set to return, and should make the Rays way better

The Rays most valuable player returns to the team tonight. It's likely too late, but he is must watch TV.

On May 21st the Rays were looking to finish the first quarter of the season above .500 in their 40th game of the season, but in the fifth inning Kevin Kiermaier went for a diving attempt on a line drive to center field and the season changed. Kiermaier immediately ran to the dugout and everybody knew something was very wrong and unsurprisingly it was announced he broke his hand. Two days later things got worse as the Rays announced Kiermaier would require surgery to repair his broken hand and would be out six to eight weeks.
