Kepler went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler went deep his first time up in the second inning to give the Phillies an early 3-0 lead. He then doubled and scored his next time up. It was his second game this season with multiple extra-base hits and his first game with multiple RBI since July 2. It's been a struggle at the dish most of the season for Kepler in his inaugural season in Philadelphia, and he's entrenched in a platoon role following the trade deadline.

Kepler is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
The Phillies have platooned both Kepler and Brandon Marsh since the trade deadline. The right-handed-hitting Weston Wilson will start in left field in place of Kepler on Monday as the Orioles send lefty Cade Povich to the hill.

Kepler (triceps) is starting in left field and batting seventh Friday against the Tigers, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler was scratched from the lineup Wednesday due to triceps soreness, but he's back in action following Thursday's team off day. The veteran outfielder scuffled to a .580 OPS over 18 games in July, and he could see his playing time take a hit if the struggles continue after the Phillies acquired Harrison Bader on Thursday.

Kepler was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox due to triceps soreness, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder was in the starting nine for Wednesday's series finale but ended up being scratched after a lengthy rain delay. The severity of the injury hasn't been disclosed, so Kepler should be considered day-to-day heading into Friday's series opener in Detroit.

Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
After starting in the last six games while the Phillies went up against right-handed starters, the left-handed-hitting Kepler will take a seat Sunday as the Yankees send southpaw Carlos Rodon to the hill. Kyle Schwarber will draw the start in left field while Kepler rests.

Kepler went 1-for-2 with a walk, a solo home run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The steal was Kepler's first of the year, while his second-inning shot off Richard Fitts was his first homer since July 2 and his 11th of the season. Kepler has struggled to make a consistent impact in his first campaign with the Phillies, and through 13 games in July he's slashing just .222/.326/.389 with two homers, three runs and four RBI.

Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
After exiting Wednesday's 13-0 win over the Giants with a bruised shin, Kepler was cleared to start in both of the Phillies' first two contests in San Diego, going 0-for-5 with a pair of walks and a run scored between those games. Though the lefty-hitting Kepler isn't believed to be dealing with any setbacks, he'll be held out of the lineup against a right-hander (Nick Pivetta) on Sunday in what looks to be nothing more than a rest day with the All-Star break on the horizon. Otto Kemp will cover left field in Kepler's stead.

Kepler (shin) will start in left field and bat sixth Friday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler had to make an early exit from Wednesday's contest due to a bruised right shin, but after using the Phillies' day off Thursday to recover, the 32-year-old outfielder will remain in the starting nine.

Kepler exited Wednesday's game against the Giants with a bruised right shin, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler singled in the top of the eighth inning, but Johan Rojas pinch-ran for Kepler two batters later. Prior to his exit, Kepler went 1-for-3 at the plate with one RBI. He's slashing .213/.307/.378 with 10 home runs, 31 RBI, 34 runs scored and a 34:63 BB:K across 305 plate appearances this season. Kepler's injury doesn't sound serious, and the Phillies have an off day Thursday ahead of Friday's series opener with the Padres in San Diego.

Kepler went 3-for-8 with a two-run home run across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader split with the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
After a 1-for-4 showing in the matinee, Kepler took Dylan Cease deep in the fourth inning of the nightcap to get the Phillies on the board in an eventual 5-1 win. It was Kepler's 10th long ball of the season, but he's struggled to put together a prolonged hot streak -- since the beginning of June, the 32-year-old outfielder is slashing just .183/.287/.354 with four homers, 10 RBI and 11 runs in 26 contests.
