Kepler is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, according to Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler has frequently been held out against left-handed starters this year -- unsurprising given that he owns just a .375 OPS against them in 2017 -- but manager Paul Molitor will give him the start in right field Tuesday even though southpaw CC Sabathia is on the bump for the opponent. Kepler will occupy the ninth spot in the Twins' batting order.

Kepler is out of Saturday's lineup against the Royals, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He will sit out for the second time in four games, as the Twins look to get as many right-handed and switch hitters in the lineup as possible against lefty Onelki Garcia. Kepler is a career .170/.240/.252 hitter against southpaws. Ehire Adrianza is starting in left field and hitting ninth while Eddie Rosario moves over to right field.

Kepler is out of Wednesday's lineup against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
While Byron Buxton, Jorge Polanco and Eddie Rosario are red hot in the second half, Kepler has been less impressive. He does have seven home runs in 86 at-bats this month, but he is getting on base at just a .274 clip over that span. Ehire Adrianza will start in left field and hit ninth.
