Fantasy Impact:

Kepler, sidelined Sunday by a back injury from an outfield wall collision, returns Tuesday to claim the Phillies’ primary left field spot for 2025, needing just a day off. His quick recovery boosts his outlook. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can roster him confidently, expecting his bat to deliver steady production from Philadelphia’s outfield early in the season.
