Sitting for third time in four games Kepler is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Kepler will hit the bench for the third time in four games, with two absences coming against southpaws. Though he should continue to play frequently versus righties, Kepler will occasionally find himself as the odd man out of the lineup with the Phillies having begun to open up more playing time for Harrison Bader as part of a four-man rotation in the outfield.

Giving way to Bader on Sunday Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Before taking a seat for Saturday's 3-2 win while southpaw Chris Sale was on the mound for Atlanta, the left-handed-hitting Kepler started in each of the previous three contests and went 2-for-11 with a home run and a walk. Atlanta is sending a righty (Hurston Waldrep) to the hill for the series finale, but Kepler will remain on the bench while Harrison Bader picks up a start in the outfield in his place.

Goes yard Thursday Kepler went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Thursday's 19-4 win over Atlanta.

Impact Kepler supplied a first-inning homer to put the Phillies up 5-3, and they never looked back. While he's been in a part-time role recently, Kepler is showing some quality at the plate, going 15-for-46 (.326) with three homers and eight RBI over his last 12 games. The veteran outfielder is still slashing a paltry .216/.300/.382 with 14 homers, 42 RBI, 50 runs scored, 17 doubles and two stolen bases across 109 contests this season. Fellow left-handed batter Brandon Marsh has been Kepler's main competitor for playing time in left field, though Kepler can shift over to right field on Nick Castellanos' off days.

Taking seat against righty Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Kepler will be held out of the starting nine for the third time in five games and for the second matchup against a right-handed starting pitcher (Jake Irvin). Though he's raised his production at the plate in August, Kepler is slashing just .233/.269/.397 since the All-Star break, and his underwhelming numbers appear to have begun to cost him some playing time while Philadelphia frees up more opportunities for trade-deadline pickup Harrison Bader.

Sitting against right-hander Kepler is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Mariners.

Impact Kepler has mostly maintained his role as the Phillies' primary left fielder against right-handed pitching even after the team's addition of Harrison Bader, but he'll begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench. Bader is in center field and Brandon Marsh is in left field against Mariners righty Bryce Miller.

Homers in win Kepler went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Orioles.

Impact Kepler went deep his first time up in the second inning to give the Phillies an early 3-0 lead. He then doubled and scored his next time up. It was his second game this season with multiple extra-base hits and his first time since July 2 with multiple RBI in a game. It's been a struggle at the dish most of the season for Kepler in his inaugural season in Philadelphia, and he's entrenched in a platoon role following the trade deadline.
