2 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (head) left the game early on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians due to a migraine. Before departing the contest, Kepler went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a strikeout. He just recently returned from the 10-day injured list due to a hamstring injury, but hopefully his migraine issues won't force him back to the IL anytime soon. For now, fantasy managers should consider the 30-year-old left-handed hitter to be day-to-day. In 32 games played for the Twins so far in 2023, Kepler has really struggled at the plate, batting .198 (23-for-116) with five doubles, six home runs, 15 RBI and 19 runs scored.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

2 weeks agoMLB.com's Todd Zolecki reports that Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Max Kepler (back) is dealing with a bruised lower back and doesn't currently have a timetable for a return. Kepler collided with the outfield wall in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Baltimore Orioles and had to leave the game. The 32-year-old veteran wasn't in the lineup on Monday and will apparently miss a bit more time at the tail end of camp. With Opening Day coming next Thursday, March 27, against the division-rival Washington Nationals, it's entirely possible that he'll have to open his first year in Philly on the injured list. When healthy, Kepler should be on the strong side of a platoon in left field, but he may need to pick it up offensively in order to keep that role. The injury-prone outfielder played in only 105 games in his final season with the Twins and hit .253 with eight home runs and 42 RBI.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

2 weeks agoPhiladelphia Phillies outfielder Max Kepler (undisclosed) exited Sunday's contest after colliding with the left field wall. He was replaced by Christian Arroyo. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as the team will likely provide an update after the contest. However, he was able to exit the game on his own power, which is a positive sign. Earlier in the winter, the Phillies signed Kepler to a one-year deal worth $10 million. When healthy, he will likely be on the strong side of a platoon in left field alongside Brandon Marsh. Last season, Kepler posted a .253/.302/.380 slash line with 21 doubles and eight home runs. He generated a modest .247 xBA with a .381 xSLG. If Kepler were to miss time early in the season, Marsh would likely have a full-time role in left field.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

1 month agoPhiladelphia Phillies outfielder Max Kepler (knee) was able to face live pitching on Sunday and appears to be past the knee injury that cut his 2024 campaign short. Kepler was shut down from baseball activities after September 1 due to left patellar tendinitis. However, seeing the 32-year-old face live pitching early in spring training suggests he will not see any restrictions during camp. Earlier in the offseason, the Phillies signed Kepler to a one-year $10 million contract. Last season in Minnesota, Kepler posted a .253/.302/.380 line with eight home runs. However, during the 2023 campaign, Kepler held a strong .260/.332/.484 line with 24 long balls. Fantasy managers should monitor his progress during spring training but should expect him to be on the strong side of a platoon in a corner outfield position alongside Brandon Marsh.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

3 months agoAccording to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com, the Philadelphia Phillies have signed free-agent outfielder Max Kepler to a one-year contract. Kepler has spent his entire 10-year MLB career playing with the Minnesota Twins. Last season, he saw his campaign cut short due to left-knee tendinitis he suffered in early September. Across 105 games in 2024, the veteran outfielder posted a .253/.302/.380 slash line with 21 doubles, eight home runs, 42 RBI and one swiped bag. Under the hood, he generated a below-average 36.8% hard-hit rate and 6.2% barrel rate. In addition, he posted a low .301 xwOBA, which was his lowest mark since the 2019 season. Fantasy managers should expect Kepler to operate as a depth outfielder in Philadelphia who will contend for a starting role in spring training.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
