Today former Minnesota Twins player Max Kepler was suspended 80 games for the 2026 season and is ineligible for the 2026 Postseason after being caught positive with Epitrenbolone which according to the USADA is a metabolite of trenbolone, an anabolic steroid. Kepler, now 32-years-old just finished his 1-year deal for $10 million with the Philadelphia Phillies slashing .216/.300/.391 in his worst full season as a Major Leaguer only garnering a 0.1 WAR in 127 games. As mentioned in the title Kepler was a great former Twins and the Target Field home run leader with likely Byron Buxton breaking it next season as he is tied with Kepler at 84 each. This suspension for Kepler could put his career in jeopardy as he didn't perform to standards last season and now he is suspended for roughly half of the 2026 season.
