Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (elbow) is not starting on Wednesday versus the Tampa Bay Rays.
Kepler was lifted from Tuesday's game against the Rays after being hit by a pitch in the right elbow. X-rays came back negative, but results from a Wednesday MRI should provide more details on the injury. The 26-year-old is on pace for career-bests across the board. Willians Astudillo, Eddie Rosario, and Jake Cave are in the Twins' outfield Wednesday.
Kepler is hitting .272/.351/.547 with 19 home runs and 51 RBI in 316 plate appearances (71 games).
