Phillies OF Max Kepler sidelined by a left triceps strain

CHICAGO (AP) — Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Max Kepler was scratched from Wednesday's series finale against the Chicago White Sox because of a left triceps strain.

Kepler was slated to start in left. He was replaced by Johan Rojas, who was in center field while Brandon Marsh moved from center to left.

The game started after a rain delay of 3 hours, 35 minutes.

Kepler, 32, is batting .203 with 11 homers and 33 RBIs in 94 games in his first season with Philadelphia. He finalized a $10 million, one-year contract with the Phillies in December.
