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. Even so, with Eddie Rosario (ankle) listed as day-to-day with a more serious injury, Kepler will tough it out with the suddenly health-challenged Twins needing to field a full lineup. 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.

Kepler (elbow) is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Rays, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler's absence from Wednesday's lineup isn't all too surprising after the outfielder exited Tuesday's game with a right elbow bruise. X-rays came back clean, though the Twins are still awaiting the results of his MRI. Eddie Rosario is starting in center field Wednesday, with Jake Cave -- who would be the primary beneficiary if Kepler requires a trip to the injured list -- getting the nod in right field.

Kepler (elbow) had X-rays come back negative but will undergo an MRI on Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler received a preliminary diagnosis of a right elbow bruise after being hit by a pitch Tuesday against the Rays. The 26-year-old appears to have avoided structural damage but will still undergo additional testing to be safe. Jake Cave figures to take over in center field should Kepler be forced to miss time with Byron Buxton (wrist) still on the injured list.

Kepler was diagnosed with a right elbow contusion after leaving Tuesday's game versus the Rays, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler was hit on the right elbow by a 95-mph fastball during the fifth inning and was subsequently removed from the contest. The 26-year-old should be considered day-to-day until the severity of the issue is determined. Jake Cave is likely to work in center field should Kepler miss any time.

Kepler was pulled from Tuesday's game against the Rays after being hit by a pitch on the right elbow, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler took a 95-mph on the right elbow and left the game after being looked at by the athletic trainer and manager Rocco Baldelli. The 26-year-old should be considered day-to-day until more is known on the injury. Jake Cave took over in center field for Minnesota.

Kepler went 3-for-5 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's extra-innings win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
He wasn't even in the starting lineup with lefty David Price on the mound for Boston, but after pinch hitting for Marwin Gonzalez in the sixth inning, Kepler nearly single-handedly kept Minnesota in the game. He tied the score at 2-2 with an RBI single in the eighth and then answered a Mookie Betts solo shot in the 13th with one of his own, before walking it off in the 17th with a bases-loaded liner down the right-field line. Kepler is now slashing .321/.455/.736 with six homers and 13 RBI through 15 games in June.

EDGE Analysis
Kepler will take a seat with David Price slated to take the mound for Boston. Marwin Gonzalez is set to man right field and bat sixth in Kepler's stead.

Kepler went 4-for-6 with a pair of doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-6 loss to the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler was terrific out of the leadoff spot as he has been for most of 2019. It was his second four-hit contest in June alone. The 26-year-old outfielder continues his breakout season with a .917 OPS and 17 homers.

Kepler went 1-for-3 with two walks, two RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler was pushed down to sixth in the order with southpaw Yusei Kikuchi on the mound, but had a productive day nonetheless. The highlight of his performance came in the sixth inning when he delivered a two-RBI single to put the Twins up 7-1. Kepler is riding a modest four-game hitting streak, during which he has three extra-base hits, four runs scored and three RBI. He's been very productive throughout the campaign, hitting .263/.342/.549 across 266 plate appearances.
