Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (hamstring) went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, and four RBI in Sunday's loss to Oakland. Kepler served as an excellent run-producer for Minnesota, belting a three-run homer in the second inning, then lofting a sacrifice fly in the third. He later doubled and scored a run. Manager Rocco Baldelli said that the 28-year-old tweaked his hamstring while running the bases late in the game- and that he's being evaluated. A potential injury couldn't come at a ...

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (hamstring) was injured during Sunday's matchup against Oakland. The 28-year-old will likely have more testing done sometime on Monday, with a trip to the 10-day injured list a realistic possibility. However, with Kepler batting just .198 this season throughout 96 at-bats, fantasy managers outside of dynasty formats shouldn't lose any sleep by dropping him.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the White Sox. Kepler's homer was a line-drive missile into the stands, as it registered a game-high exit velocity of 110.2 MPH. The 28-year-old went through April without homering but has left the yard three times in May, all while increasing his average exit velocity and barrel rate. He may not approach the power numbers he posted in 2019, though it seems like Kepler has found his home run stroke- ...

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler homered for the second consecutive game in Friday's victory over the Tigers. Kepler also added an RBI single and a walk. The German outfielder got every bit of a Daniel Norris fastball in the eighth inning, sending it 422 feet into the right-field seats at an exit velocity of 105.7 MPH for his second long ball in as many days. Over his last two games, Kepler has recorded a trio of runs, hits, and RBI, along with two walks. The power is starting to come ...

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a pair of runs scored, and a walk in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers. Kepler had gone 19 games without homering before ripping a Jordan Lyles fastball 416 feet into the right-field seats at an exit velocity of 107.4 MPH. The German outfielder now has three hits and a stolen base since returning from the COVID-19 injured list- and perhaps the homer is a sign of good things to come for Kepler at the plate moving forward.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's victory over the Rangers. Kepler added on to the Minnesota lead with an RBI single, then swiped second base for his fourth stolen bag of the season. The four stolen bases are more than he had in the shortened 2020 season- and his career-high mark of six appears to be in danger, as he has been one of the better threats on the basepaths for Minnesota. The power numbers have yet to surface- and while his ...

Minnesota Twins outfielders Max Kepler and Kyle Garlick (COVID-19) were reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list on Friday, according to Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic. Kepler and Garlick were placed on the COVID-19 injured list on April 20 after positive tests, but they have both since tested negative. In 12 games this year, Garlick is slashing .280/.321/.400 with three RBI and six runs scored, while Kepler is hitting .234 with a .677 OPS, eight RBI and five runs scored in 14 games. With ...

Minnesota Twins outfielders Max Kepler and Kyle Garlick have cleared the COVID-19 protocols on Tuesday. Both Kepler and Garlick had tested positive for the virus but have since tested negative, so it's a matter of getting them back into game shape. The two outfielders have a chance at returning for the Twins' weekend series against the Royals. It will be interesting to see what Minnesota decides to do with their number-two ranked prospect, Alex Kirilloff, who has been hitting the ball pretty ...

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (COVID-19), outfielder Kyle Garlick (COVID-19), and relief pitcher Caleb Thielbar (COVID-19) have been placed on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday. Garlick had tested positive for the virus, and it seems likely that Kepler and Thielbar also did- given the team's recent outbreak- so fantasy managers may be without them for the remainder of the week. The club reinstated Brent Rooker from the injured list and recalled infielder Travis Blankenhorn. Lewis ...

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler went 1-for-5 with an RBI single in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox. Facing Adam Ottavino in the bottom of the ninth, Kepler looped a single into center to score Luis Arraez, winning the game for Minnesota and snapping a five-game losing streak. Five of Kepler's nine hits this season have gone for extra bases- though he doesn't have a homer yet- and he has eight RBI along with three stolen bases, matching last year's total. He has a 12:4 ...
