Phillies' Max Kepler: Lands one-year deal with Philly
Kepler (knee) agreed to a one-year, $10 million contract with the Phillies on Thursday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Kepler ended last season on the injured list with left knee tendinitis. He's spent most of his career playing right field and has also seen action in center, but he's expected to man left field for the Phillies. He had a .253/.302/.380 slash line with eight homers in just 105 games with the Twins last season as he missed time due to injuries in both his knees. He hit better against lefties last season than righties (.721 OPS vs. LHP) but has been much better against righties during his career. That could lead him to be part of a platoon in left field eventually.

Twins' Max Kepler: Shut down for season
Kepler (knee/hip) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.
Kepler was expected to be shut down for the remainder of the regular season, and Friday's move not only confirms that but also rules him out for the entirety of the playoffs -- should the Twins come back from three games back and claim a wild-card spot. Kepler was placed on the injured list Sept. 5 due to left knee tendinitis and received a cortisone injection for hip soreness Sept. 17. He should be healthy once spring training rolls around.

Twins' Max Kepler: Likely out through regular season
Manager Rocco Baldelli said Tuesday that Kepler (knee/hip) isn't expected to return from the injured list before the end of the regular season, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
The 31-year-old landed on the shelf in early September due to knee tendinitis, and he received a cortisone injection for hip soreness last week. The Twins are currently one game back of the final American League wild-card spot, and it's possible Kepler could return at some point during the playoffs should they punch their ticket and go on an October run.

Twins' Max Kepler: Closing in on rehab stint
Kepler (knee) received a cortisone injection for hip soreness Monday but is still expected to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul this weekend, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
The 31-year-old landed on the shelf due to knee tendinitis in early September but appears to be fully recovered from that injury. It's unclear how or when exactly the hip soreness surfaced for Kepler, but he should still have a chance to return from the injured list for the final homestand of the season next week.

Twins' Max Kepler: Goes on IL with knee tendinitis
The Twins placed Kepler on the 10-day injured list Thursday with left patellar tendinitis, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Kepler had missed four straight games and started just three of the last 11 contests because of the nagging knee issue. The Twins have finally opted to put him on the IL, bringing up DaShawn Keirsey as a replacement. Most of the playing time in right field while Kepler is sidelined should go to Matt Wallner.
