Kepler is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Kepler will hit the bench for the third time in four games, with two absences coming against southpaws. Though he should continue to play frequently versus righties, Kepler will occasionally find himself as the odd man out of the lineup with the Phillies having begun to open up more playing time for Harrison Bader as part of a four-man rotation in the outfield.

Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Before taking a seat for Saturday's 3-2 win while southpaw Chris Sale was on the mound for Atlanta, the left-handed-hitting Kepler started in each of the previous three contests and went 2-for-11 with a home run and a walk. Atlanta is sending a righty (Hurston Waldrep) to the hill for the series finale, but Kepler will remain on the bench while Harrison Bader picks up a start in the outfield in his place.

Kepler went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Thursday's 19-4 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Kepler supplied a first-inning homer to put the Phillies up 5-3, and they never looked back. While he's been in a part-time role recently, Kepler is showing some quality at the plate, going 15-for-46 (.326) with three homers and eight RBI over his last 12 games. The veteran outfielder is still slashing a paltry .216/.300/.382 with 14 homers, 42 RBI, 50 runs scored, 17 doubles and two stolen bases across 109 contests this season. Fellow left-handed batter Brandon Marsh has been Kepler's main competitor for playing time in left field, though Kepler can shift over to right field on Nick Castellanos' off days.

Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Kepler will be held out of the starting nine for the third time in five games. Though he's improved his production in August, he's slashing just .233/.269/.397 since the All-Star break, and his underwhelming numbers are costing him playing time while Philadelphia frees up more opportunities for trade-deadline pickup Harrison Bader.

Kepler is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Kepler has mostly maintained his role as the Phillies' primary left fielder against right-handed pitching even after the team's addition of Harrison Bader, but he'll begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench. Bader is in center field and Brandon Marsh is in left field against Mariners righty Bryce Miller.

Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Kepler will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Nationals send another lefty to the hill in Mitchell Parker. Weston Wilson will spell Kepler in left field and bat seventh.

Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

With southpaw Patrick Corbin starting for the Rangers, Kepler will take a seat for the series finale. Weston Wilson will replace Kepler in left field and bat ninth.

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.
