Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kepler recently overcame a sprained ankle, but manager Rocco Baldelli said that the outfielder's absence from the lineup for the series finale is a pre-planned maintenance day rather than the result of any recurrence of injury, per Miller. Luis Arraez will enter the outfield in place of Kepler, whose pair of solo home runs in Saturday's 10-3 win allowed him to establish a new career high (21) in the category.

Kepler went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Saturday's 10-3 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

It's his second multi-homer game of the month after he went deep three times in Cleveland on June 6. Kepler's slashing .269/.344/.548 on the year with 21 home runs -- already a new career high -- and 53 RBI in 75 games.

Kepler (elbow) will start in center field and bat leadoff Thursday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Kepler may not be fully healthy yet after sustaining a bruised right elbow Tuesday and sitting out Wednesday's win.

Kepler may not make for the most comfortable DFS play coming off the elbow issue, even though he's batting a sizzling .282/.391/.615 through 22 games in June.
