On track to return next week Kepler (hamstring) is on track for a return next week, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact Manager Rocco Baldelli said he didn't think Kepler would be out longer than 10 to 14 days after he went on the injured list on May 30. Still, a report that Kepler is running with out problems may be needed to be fully confident of that timetable.

Lands on injured list Kepler (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 28-year-old has battled the hamstring injury throughout May and will end up on the injured list after being pulled from Saturday's contest with a mild strain. Manager Rocco Baldelli indicated there's a chance Kepler will be able to return when first eligible June 9, though that's hardly guaranteed.

Could require IL stint Kepler (hamstring) could require time on the injured list, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kepler was initially labeled as day-to-day after he left Saturday's game against the Royals with a mild left hamstring strain, but manager Rocco Baldelli said after the game that he expects the outfielder to miss time. Trevor Larnach and Kyle Garlick could see increased playing time in the outfield if Kepler is unavailable.

Day-to-day with mild strain Kapler is considered day-to-day after leaving Saturday's game against the Royals with a mild left hamstring strain, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact The injury that forced Kepler from the game is indeed related to the hamstring issue he's battled for the past few weeks. The team previously indicated it hoped he could avoid a trip to the injured list, and that optimism still appears to exist given that he's merely considered day-to-day, though it certainly wouldn't be a surprise if such a transaction comes within the next few days.

Exits with apparent injury Kepler left Saturday's game against the Royals after appearing to hurt himself while running to first base, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Twins have yet to specify the nature of the injury, but it would be a surprise if it wasn't related to the lingering hamstring issue that he's been mostly able to play through over the past few weeks. The team previously expressed optimism that Kepler could avoid a trip to the injured list via careful management, but Saturday's setback could lead to a change of plans.

Impact Kepler was held out of Friday's lineup due to a lingering hamstring issue, but he'll play right field and lead off Saturday. Manager Rocco Baldelli is hopeful that Kepler can avoid a trip to the injured list, and the Twins could monitor his playing time in the coming days to prevent against a long-term issue.
