Kepler went 2-for-3 with a walk, solo home run, two RBI and two runs Thursday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder's 11th dinger of the season tied the game 2-2 in the bottom of the sixth and kick started the 6-2 comeback victory. Kepler's average has dipped a bit this month, but he's more than compensated for that by unloading for an AL-leading eight home runs in July. The rookie out of Germany seems to be putting it all together right in time for the fantasy playoff season.

Kepler is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Coming off an 0-for-4 outing on Tuesday, Kepler, who's played in every game since the All-Star break, will have the night off and be replaced by Danny Santana in right field. Kepler will likely return to his normal spot in the lineup Thursday when the Twins face the Orioles.

Kepler went 1-for-4 with a solo homer Sunday against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Kepler's ninth homer of 2016 provided the only run the Twins would score in a home loss. He's clubbed six of his nine bombs this month to raise his slugging percentage to .478 on the season.

Kepler went 1-for-5 with a grand slam and two runs in Sunday's 15-5 victory over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie came through with a 393-foot shot to left center in the fifth that brought home Kennys Vargas, Joe Mauer and Eduardo Escobar, his first career grand slam. The emerging Kepler already has a whopping 18 RBI in July, with 14 of those notably coming against Rangers pitching. Although he's understandably still adjusting to major league pitching, the 23-year-old is starting to deliver on some of his considerable potential, and provides a reason for optimism in an otherwise forgettable season for the Twins franchise.

Kepler went 2-for-5 with a homer and three RBI Thursday at the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Kepler's launched his seventh bomb of the year to extend the Twins lead to 8-0 in the eighth inning of a game they'd win easily. He's now homered four times over his last six games to raise his slugging percentage to .492 on the season.

Kepler went 1-for-3 with a home run in Tuesday's win over Oakland. He's hit three home runs in his last four games

EDGE Analysis

Kepler had the home run against a left-handed pitcher as he's shown progress the past few games against lefties. He should remain the regular in right field the rest of the season with Miguel Sano moving back to third base and DH.

Kepler went 2-for-5 with two home runs and seven RBI in Saturday's win over Texas.

EDGE Analysis

The seven RBI in the game were a Twins rookie record. He's hitting .350 (7-for-20) in his last six games with three home runs. It looks like he's locked in as a starter in the outfield for the foreseeable future.

Kepler starred in Sunday's win over the Yankees, finishing 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base.

EDGE Analysis

The young outfielder had the most productive game of his young career, swiping his first base while notching his first three-hit game as well. He has hit safely in six consecutive games and nine of his last 10, and he could begin to climb toward the top of the impotent Twins lineup soon if he continues to produce.

Kepler started in right field and went 1-for-3 in Saturday's loss to the Yankees. He's hit safely in eight of his last nine games.

EDGE Analysis

With Oswaldo Arcia designated for assignment, Kepler should remain the starting right fielder until Miguel Sano returns from the DL.

Kepler went 1-for-5 with a three-run, walk-off blast in the 10th inning of Sunday's win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

He absolutely crushed a Matt Barnes fastball to straightaway center field for his first major league home run, and Kepler couldn't have picked a better time for it. The German rookie now has four hits in his last three games and should continue to earn playing time as long as he keeps producing.
