Ready to go Friday Kepler (triceps) is starting in left field and bat seventh Friday against the Tigers, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kepler was scratched from the lineup Wednesday due to triceps soreness, but he's back in action following Thursday's team off day. The veteran outfielder scuffled to a .580 OPS over 18 games in July, and he could see his playing time take a hit if the struggles continue after the Phillies acquired Harrison Bader on Thursday.

Resting Sunday Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Impact After exiting Wednesday's 13-0 win over the Giants with a bruised shin, Kepler was cleared to start in both of the Phillies' first two contests in San Diego, going 0-for-5 with a pair of walks and a run scored between those games. Though the lefty-hitting Kepler isn't believed to be dealing with any setbacks, he'll be held out of the lineup against a right-hander (Nick Pivetta) on Sunday in what looks to be nothing more than a rest day with the All-Star break on the horizon. Otto Kemp will cover left field in Kepler's stead.
