Max Kepler has received an 80-game suspension for PED use as announced by Major League Baseball. The free-agent outfielder tested positive for Epitrenbolone, which is in violation of MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
Fantasy Impact
Kepler, who will turn 33 last month, is coming off of a disappointing year in Philadelphia where he batted just .216 with 18 home runs in his first season away from the Twins' organization. Kepler is only a .235 career hitter but does have 179 home runs, including a career-high 36 with Minnesota in 2019. Kepler, who has not had a ton of interest this offseason, just made his signing with another MLB team that much more difficult.
Max Kepler went 1-for-5 with one strikeout in the Phillies’ 6-5 loss to the Marlins on Tuesday.
