August 24, 2025 12:57 PM : Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
Analysis: Kepler will be held out of the starting nine for the third time in five games. Though he's improved his production in August, he's slashing just .233/.269/.397 since the All-Star break, and his underwhelming numbers are costing him playing time while Philadelphia frees up more opportunities for trade-deadline pickup Harrison Bader.
