Previewing The 2023-24 Free Agent Class: Corner Outfield

Throughout the week, we’ve covered the upcoming free agent class at MLBTR. We move today to the outfield. Teams often use left and right fielders interchangeably, so we’ll combine them into a single corner outfield group. It’s not a great class but is arguably among the stronger options in a light market for position players.…

Max Kepler Returns Against Tigers

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (foot) is back in right field and is batting in the three-hole on Wednesday as he faces right-hander Alex Faedo and the Detroit Tigers. Kepler took the day off on Tuesday after he was hit by a pitch on his right foot during Monday's contest. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger is fine, though, and he'll return to action on Wednesday. Other than providing some power in deeper mixed leagues with 18 home runs, Kepler hasn't done much for fantasy managers with a .238/.301/.465 slash line with 43 RBI and 45 runs scored in 286 at-bats this year. However, he's been much better in the second half so far, going 26-for-83 (.313) with six long balls, six doubles, 13 RBI and 18 runs scored in 23 games (20 starts) since the All-Star break.

Max Kepler Out Of Tuesday's Lineup

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (foot) is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers. Kepler was hit by a pitch on his right foot late in Monday's game and had to leave the contest, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise that he's out on Tuesday, especially with the Twins facing Tigers left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. Matt Wallner is starting in right field and is batting seventh in the order against E-Rod. The 30-year-old Kepler's foot injury isn't believed to be very serious, so he has a great chance to return to action on Wednesday after a day off. He's been swinging a hot bat since the All-Star break and can provide useful power in deeper fantasy leagues when the Twins are facing right-handed pitching.

Max Kepler Injures Foot

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (foot) injured his right foot in Monday's game against the Detroit Tigers while being hit by a pitch, but he was moving around pretty well and seemed OK after the contest. Kepler broke his pinkie toe on a hit by pitch last year, and it derailed his season, but this doesn't look to be as serious. For now, fantasy managers should consider the 30-year-old left-handed hitter to be day-to-day, and don't be surprised if he's not in the lineup on Tuesday. He went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a strikeout in Monday's 9-3 win. Kepler has 18 home runs on the season and has been hot since the All-Star break, going 26-for-83 (.313) with six long balls, six doubles, 13 RBI and 18 runs scored in 23 games (20 starts).

Trevor Larnach Drawing Trade Interest

The Minnesota Twins left-handed-hitting outfielders continue to draw trade interest with the Aug. 1 trade deadline nearly here, namely Max Kepler, Trevor Larnach and Matt Wallner. Larnach is drawing interest from multiple teams, including the San Diego Padres and New York Mets. Given the team's preference to trade off the MLB roster or Triple-A St. Paul, dealing from this strength seems likely by Tuesday. Larnach, a 26-year-old former first-rounder, makes perfect sense to be shipped away, as he hasn't really had much of an impact yet consistently in the major leagues for the Twins. In 162 at-bats in 2023, he's hitting just .216/.314/.401 with six home runs, 32 RBI and 23 runs scored in 50 games. Larnach is slashing .223/.315/.380 with a .695 OPS in his three big-league seasons.
