  • Twins' Max Kepler: Dealing with hip tightness

    Kepler was removed from Sunday's spring game against Atlanta due to left hip tightness, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Kepler went 0-for-1 before being replaced in the field after the third inning. The 30-year-old was the subject of trade rumors throughout the offseason but has remained in Minnesota, and he's hit well during spring training with a .360/.448/.720 slash line and two home runs. It's unclear if the hip issue will affect his availability for Opening Day, which is less than two weeks away.

  • Twins' Max Kepler: Hits first spring home run

    Kepler went 2-for-3 with his first home run of spring training in Monday's win over the Yankees. He's hitting .400 (8-for-20) this spring. Kepler was the subject of trade talk over the winter, but he looks set to begin the season as the starting right fielder. He's a candidate to benefit from the ban on shifts since he's a pull hitter who hits too many ground balls. His 2019 season (when he hit 36 home runs) featured a Pull% of 50.8 percent compared to just 41.7 percent last season.

  • Twins' Max Kepler: Likely staying put

    Minnesota plans to move forward with Kepler on the roster after the team didn't find enough interest on the trade market, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. Kepler seemingly was on the way out of Minnesota after the Twins signed Joey Gallo, but Hayes writes that trade interest in Kepler "hasn't been there" and the team now plans to hang on to the veteran outfielder. The trade of Luis Arraez did free up more playing time, and it's probably not a bad idea to keep Kepler around given Gallo's uncertain outlook and the injury history of Alex Kirilloff.

  • Twins' Max Kepler: Lands on injured list

    Kepler was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right wrist sprain Saturday, retroactive to Sept. 14, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Kepler missed the last four games due to a leg contusion, and he's apparently also dealing with a wrist injury that will keep him sidelined for at least another week. Since the move was backdated to Wednesday, he'll be eligible to return as early as next weekend. Matt Wallner was called up as part of a move to provide an extra outfielder for the Twins in Kepler's absence.

  • Twins' Max Kepler: Leaves with leg contusion

    The Twins announced that Kepler was removed after two innings of Sunday's game against the Guardians due to a right leg contusion, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. The diagnosis comes as positive news, as Kepler was feared to have suffered an aggravation of the hip injury that kept him out of the lineup for five games before he returned to the starting nine in Saturday's loss. According to Helfand, Kepler suffered the bruised leg during his lone plate appearance of the day, when he fouled a ball off himself. He can be considered day-to-day heading into the Twins' series opener with the Royals on Tuesday.

  • Twins' Max Kepler: Exits early Sunday

    Kepler was removed ahead of the third inning of Sunday's game against the Guardians due to an apparent aggravation of his prior hip injury, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. Kepler had missed five games in a row due to the hip issue before he returned to the lineup Saturday as the Twins' starting right fielder, going 0-for-5 in Minnesota's 6-4 loss. He struck out in his lone at-bat Sunday before heading to the bench Sunday, with Gilberto Celestino coming on to replace him. Kepler can be viewed as day-to-day heading into the Twins' next game Tuesday versus Kansas City.

  • Twins' Max Kepler: Empty line in return

    Kepler (hip) went 0-for-5 in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Guardians. Kepler was out of the lineup for five games with the hip injury. In his return, he was one of two Twins starters to fail to record a hit, with Gary Sanchez the other one. Kepler has hit .227 with a .668 OPS, nine home runs, 43 RBI, 54 runs scored and three stolen bases through 114 contests. He should resume his role as the Twins' starting right fielder despite batting .156 (3-for-19) in September.

  • Twins' Max Kepler: Multi-hit effort in win

    Kepler went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's victory over the White Sox. Kepler recorded his fourth multi-hit game in his last eight with two base hits Sunday. The stretch has increased his season average from .225 to .232 as he is starting to look healthy again after slashing .141/.179/.188 in his first 17 games after returning from the IL with a toe injury. He appears locked into the middle of manager Rocco Baldelli's lineup and could be valuable in deeper fantasy formats down the stretch.

  • Twins' Max Kepler: Reaches five times

    Kepler went 2-for-2 with three walks and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Giants. Kepler hit two singles and added a pair of walks in the first nine innings, including scoring the Twins' first run in the ninth. He was intentionally walked to load the bases with no outs in the 10th, and that plan backfired for the Giants. It's been a rather quiet August for Kepler, who has just three multi-hit efforts in 18 games, batting .167 (11-for-66) with six walks and 12 strikeouts in that span. Overall, he's slashing .229/.325/.357 with nine home runs, three steals, 42 RBI and 47 runs scored through 103 contests.

  • Twins' Max Kepler: Not in Friday's lineup

  • Twins' Max Kepler: Swipes third bag

    Kepler went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Royals. It's Kepler's first steal since May 21 and only his third of the year after he swiped a career-high 10 in 2021. It's at least a good sign that the 29-year-old is fully recovered from the toe injury that landed him on the IL in late July, as is the single -- after an 0-for-27 stretch following his activation, Kepler's gone 4-for-12 in his last three games.
