Twins' Max Kepler: Exits with hand injury Saturday

Kepler was removed from Saturday's game for precautionary reasons after suffering an abrasion on his glove hand, Mike Berardino of The Pioneer Press reports.

Analysis:

Robbie Grossman has come on to replace Kepler after the young outfielder appeared to injure his hand making a diving catch in Saturday's game. Fortunately, the decision to remove Kepler was precautionary, so there isn't major concern over his injury at this time. Still, it will be worth monitoring whether Kepler is back in the lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Red Sox.
