Twins' Max Kepler: Begins baseball activity

Manager Rocco Baldelli said Tuesday that Kepler (groin) has been running and throwing and has a chance to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Sunday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Kepler suffered a strained left adductor in a Sept. 2 game against the White Sox, and he's already making good progress in his recovery less than a week later. Baldelli indicated that Kepler has been running and throwing without incident over the last couple of days, so the outfielder looks like he'll have a decent chance at making back from the IL for Sunday's series finale versus the Indians.
