Max Kepler Fantasy

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler went 2-for-3 with an RBI single in the fifth inning of a 5-3 victory over the Rays. Kepler had a career year last season for Minnesota, belting 36 home runs along with 98 runs scored and 90 RBI. The 27-year-old has placed in the top-10 in Fly-Ball percentage for the past two years, but a 2019 increase in his HR/FB percentage- and barrel percentage- resulted in 16 more homers than in 2018. If Kepler can keep up his elite-level barrel and HR/FB percentages as well as stay healthy, he could be an absolute steal at his current ADP of 135.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (back) will make his Spring debut on Friday against the Red Sox. The Twins believe that the soreness in Kepler's back is unrelated to last year's injury, which bodes well for the 27-year-old's fantasy stock heading into the 2020 season. Kepler could score and drive in 90 runs again like he did last year, especially considering the lineup protection he may receive from newcomer Josh Donaldson.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler has a minor back injury but is expected to play in the next few days. It doesn't sound like anything serious for the 27-year-old, who is coming off a career-year with 36 homers and a .855 OPS. He did this while missing 30 games last year, which makes his 131 ADP look pretty good at the moment. With more protection in the lineup this year, Kepler seems poised to return good value for those who invest in him.
