Kepler (groin) was activated from the 7-day DL, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kepler will effectively miss barely more time than the minimum, as the groin strain that sidelined him didn't turn out to be overly serious. The 23-year-old owns a .812 OPS through his firs 102 at-bats, and if he continues to show improvement at the plate, it won't be too long before he's a candidate to rejoin the Twins.
