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.

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

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Kepler will hit the bench for the first time since June 9, which marks the last time the Phillies faced a left-handed starting pitcher (the Cubs' Matthew Boyd). With southpaw David Peterson toeing the rubber for the Mets in the series finale, Otto Kemp will step in as the Phillies' left fielder in place of Kepler, who went 9-for-39 (.231 average) with three home runs and a 7:7 BB:K during his stretch of 11 consecutive starts.

Kepler went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Kepler broke a 2-2 tie with what proved to be a game-winning solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning. After opening June in a 1-for-18 slump, the 32-year-old has hit safely in four straight games with four extra-base hits, four RBI and five runs scored. On the season, he's slashing .214/.303/.398 with eight home runs, 25 RBI and 29 runs scored across 234 plate appearances, though he continues to sit regularly against left-handed pitching.

Kepler went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Kepler got the Phillies on the board in the second with a two-run shot to right for his first home run since May 24 and his first hit since June 3. Over his last 14 games, Kepler is batting a miserable .105/.190/.211 while continuing to work in a strong-side platoon role in left field with Weston Wilson.

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

EDGE Analysis
