Kepler went 2-for-2 with a walk and two home runs in Sunday's spring training loss to Boston. He batted leadoff and could be used in the leadoff role against right-handed pitchers this season, manager Rocco Baldelli told the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
It sounds like the Twins may vary their leadoff hitter frequently based on matchups, but Kepler remains a candidate for the role. He was not used in the leadoff role last season. He certainly got his spring training off on the right foot after signing a a five-year, $35 million extension before camp began. Feb 24 8:07 pm (EST)
- Kepler signed a five-year, $35 million extension with the Twins on Thursday that includes an option, Jon Heyman of FancredSports.com reports.
- Kepler signed a one-year, $3.125 million contract with the Twins on Friday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.
- Kepler is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox, LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. All Max Kepler (L) News
