Max Kepler Not In Saturday's Lineup
3 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler is not in the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Cleveland Indians. Kepler is 1-for-13 with a home run, two RBI, and seven strikeouts over his last three contests. Perhaps a game on the bench will allow him to rediscover his timing at the plate. Trevor Larnach will start in right field Saturday and bat cleanup. Larnach has posted a .941 OPS in 23 plate appearances as the cleanup hitter for Minnesota this season and gets a good matchup against Cleveland southpaw Sam Hentges, who owns a 6.40 ERA.
