Twins' Max Kepler: Held out with neck strain
Kepler (neck strain) is not in Friday's lineup against the Mariners.
Analysis:
This is not surprising, as Kepler seems poised to miss at least a few days, given the nature of the injury. However, the team has not provided a timetable for his return, so he will remain loosely listed as day-to-day. Logan Schafer is starting in right field and hitting eighth Friday.
