Joining active roster Thursday The Diamondbacks will add Kepler (suspension) to their active roster before Thursday's game in St. Louis, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Upon completion of his 80-game suspension for testing positive for a performance enhancing substance, Kepler will go directly onto the Diamondbacks' roster. The outfielder slashed .333/.474/.567 with two homers and a 7:6 BB:K in 10 minor-league games, though much of that production came at the lower levels. Kepler gives the Diamondbacks another option against right-handed pitching, though he is not guaranteed a regular role.

Agrees to deal with Arizona Kepler (suspension) and the Diamondbacks agreed to terms on a one-year contract Sunday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Kepler is serving an 80-game suspension for testing positive for a performance enhancing substance, but he will now have a team to return to once his suspension is over. The 33-year-old struggled to a .216 average with 18 home runs, 52 RBI, 58 runs scored and three stolen bases over 417 at-bats in 127 regular-season contests with the Phillies. Kepler's suspension will be complete June 24, and he'll likely need to get up to speed with Triple-A Reno before he'd join the major-league roster.
