Max Kepler is on the bench for a fifth straight game Saturday against the Reds.

The previous four games were all versus lefties, but the D-backs are facing a righty today and Kepler still isn’t playing. One wonders if he might get released once Lourdes Gurriel Jr. returns. He’s hitting just .216/.282/.333 in 124 plate appearances, and he won’t be eligible to play in the postseason after his steroid suspension.
