Kepler (leg) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Royals.
Kepler was not in the lineup Saturday against a right-handed starter and did not make an appearance in the game. The 31-year-old fouled a ball off his right leg in Thursday's game, which resulted in his early departure. X-rays after the game came back negative, but he is not cleared to run, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. The outfielder will be re-evaluated after the upcoming off-day. With some movement around the field for the Twins, Willi Castro gets the start in Kepler's lineup spot, but at third base with Matt Wallner shifting to right field.
