Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler will be held out of the lineup for the second time in the series while Arizona goes with Lourdes Gurriel in left field and Ketel Marte in the designated-hitter spot. Since serving an 80-game suspension and being cleared to make his Arizona debut June 25, Kepler has produced a .554 OPS across 38 plate appearances. Until he begins to improve his offensive output, Kepler could have to settle for a part-time role.

Kepler isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler will get a breather Friday after going 4-for-13 with a homer, six RBI and two runs scored during Arizona's four-game set against the Padres. His absence will allow Lourdes Gurriel to start in left field and open a spot in the lineup for Tim Tawa at first base.

Kepler went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in an 8-0 win against the Padres on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler had Arizona's biggest hit of the game, belting a three-run homer to right field in the third inning. Prior to that, he had knocked in Arizona's second run of the contest with a single in the first frame. Kepler began the campaign serving an 80-game suspension and didn't make his Diamondbacks debut until June 26. Even with Monday's big performance, he's slashing a meager .174/.174/.348 through eight games.

Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Kepler will hit the bench for the third time in four games, with two of his absences coming against right-handed starters. After completing an 80-game suspension to begin the season and making his Arizona debut June 25, Kepler appeared primed for a strong-side platoon role in the left field. However, Kepler's ongoing struggles appear to have cost him some playing time; he's gone just 2-for-18 at the plate through his first six games with Arizona.

Kepler went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler, who recently completed an 80-game suspension, was hitless in his first nine at-bats with Arizona before snapping that run of futility with a first-inning double. He later singled and scored in the fourth. Kepler has started four of his five games with the club, taking over the strong side of a platoon in left field with Lourdes Gurriel, who's been the team's primary designated hitter since Kepler's arrival.

Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler will get a breather for the series finale after he started in left field Friday and Saturday following his reinstatement from an 80-game suspension. Lourdes Gurriel will start in left field and Ketel Marte will serve as Arizona's designated hitter Sunday, but Kepler appears likely to get a long look as a strong-side platoon player at either spot.

Kepler started in left field and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler, who was in left field for a second consecutive day since being reinstated from an 80-game suspension, is still looking for his first hit in an Arizona uniform. The left-handed batter may be the preferred option in left field against right-handers. The Diamondbacks finish out the series with the Rays on Sunday, when they are scheduled to face Tampa Bay right-hander Drew Rasmussen. The right-handed hitting Lourdes Gurriel, who is also in the left field mix, was given Saturday off after serving as the designated hitter Thursday and Friday.

Kepler started in left field, batted sixth and went 0-for-2 in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler made his Diamondbacks debut after serving an 80-game suspension for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. He was eventually lifted for a pinch hitter when a lefty reliever entered the game in the sixth inning. Kepler figures to settle in on the strong side of a platoon in left field alongside Lourdes Gurriel, who will start there against lefties and shift to designated hitter when Kepler starts against righties, as was the case Friday.

Kepler is starting in left field and batting fifth versus the Cardinals on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Kepler was added to Arizona's active roster Thursday after completing his 80-day game suspension for testing positive for performance enhancing drugs. The starting outfielders for the Diamondbacks on Thursday are Kepler, Tommy Troy and Corbin Caroll with Lourdes Gurriel slotted as the designated hitter.
