Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis and outfielder Max Kepler are both out of the team's starting lineup on Monday against the Boston Red Sox. Lewis is taking a day off after going 2-for-11 with an RBI and two runs scored in the team's four-game series against the Detroit Tigers over the weekend. Lewis is hitting .281 (16-for-57) overall with two homers and 10 RBI. Kepler went hitless in the series with two strikeouts in only three at-bats to drop his season line to a weak .189/.261/.365 ...

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (head) left the game early on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians due to a migraine. Before departing the contest, Kepler went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a strikeout. He just recently returned from the 10-day injured list due to a hamstring injury, but hopefully his migraine issues won't force him back to the IL anytime soon. For now, fantasy managers should consider the 30-year-old left-handed hitter to be day-to-day. In 32 games played for the Twins so ...

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler was removed from Thursday's game against the Cleveland Guardians with a possible injury. He went 1-for-3 with an RBI before being removed from the game. The 30-year-old was replaced in right field by Joey Gallo. It's unclear if Kepler re-aggravated an existing hamstring injury as he was recently activated from the injured list on May 29. Kepler is slashing .198/.275/.397 with six home runs, 15 RBI, and one run over 32 games. Kepler is considered ...

The Minnesota Twins reinstated outfielder Max Kepler (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and optioned outfielder Kyle Garlick to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. Kepler will return to the Twins after skipping a minor-league rehab assignment. The 30-year-old left-handed hitter landed on the injured list on May 13, and he should return to a pretty regular role in right field for the Twins, at least when the team is facing right-handed pitching. He is back in the starting...

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (hamstring) is nearing a return. While speaking after Saturday's win over the Toronto Blue Jays, the veteran reported he's "a couple of days from being fully recovered." During a meeting with the Padres on May 11, Kepler suffered a left hamstring strain, resulting in a trip to the injured list. However, the 30-year-old is rostered in only 4% of Yahoo leagues, so his return won't mean much for many fantasy managers.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (hamstring) has been placed on the injured list with a hamstring strain. The 30-year-old left Thursday's game early with a leg cramp and then was able to appear as a pinch-hitter during Friday's contest. Surprisingly, he lands on the IL on Saturday with a hamstring strain. Kepler owns a .742 OPS with six home runs over 99 at-bats on the season. Trevor Larnach has been recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (leg) was pulled from Thursday's game early against the San Diego Padres as a precaution, and manager Rocco Baldelli said the team is hopeful it's just a leg cramp. Kepler probably won't start on Friday because the Twins are facing a left-handed pitcher, but he could be available off the bench. It's a day-to-day situation for now, and it sounds as though the 30-year-old left-handed hitter won't need to go on the injured list. He ...

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (leg) left the game early on Thursday against the San Diego Padres with trainer Masa Abe after beating out a groundball to tie the game in the seventh inning. Michael A. Taylor replaced Kepler in the game. Kepler appeared to have injured his leg, but we'll pass along more updates on his condition once we know more after the contest. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger already spent time on the injured list with patellar tendinitis in his right knee last ...

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler contributed to his team's 2-0 victory over the Guardians by hitting a two-run home run and finishing the game 1-for-4 at the plate on Friday. Kepler's timely hit in the sixth inning broke the scoreless tie, ultimately being the only runs scored in the game. So far this season, Kepler has had 77 at-bats, resulting in a .234 batting average, four home runs, 13 runs, and 10 RBI.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler is starting in right field and is batting leadoff for the Twins on Friday against right-hander Jordan Lyles and the Kansas City Royals. Kepler has been the Twins' leadoff hitter more often than not so far in 2023 against right-handed pitchers. However, he hasn't been all that great for fantasy managers in deep-mixed leagues through 58 plate appearances and 15 games played, as he's gone 12-for-53 (.226) with four doubles, two home runs, six RBI and eight ...
