Fantasy Analysis
Keppinger got hit on the foot by a foul ball while in the dugout on Saturday and is going to be out three to four weeks. This is bad news for Keppinger, who had become important for Tampa Bay. Keppinger has seen a nice little resurgence with the Rays as he's batting .295 at the moment with two homers and eight RBI. Not viable outside AL-only Fantasy leagues, Keppinger can be dropped in most formats right now. (Updated 05/21/2012).

05/10/2012 18:51 Rays activate Keppinger, put Allen on DL
The Tampa Bay Rays have activated infielder Jeff Keppinger from the restricted list and put first baseman-outfielder Brandon Allen on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained right quadriceps.
Jeff Keppinger did not make his debut until May 27 last season after undergoing surgery on his foot in the offseason but continued to be a decent hitter upon returning. He batted .307 with four home runs and 20 RBI in 43 games with the Astros before being dealt to San Francisco in mid-July. His production would dip a bit after that and he finished the year with a .277 average, with six homers and 35 RBI in 379 at-bats. The 31-year-old signed with the Rays in the offseason and is expected to serve as a backup infielder. While he could see some playing time at second base on days Ben Zobrist is elsewhere, owners would be wise to leave Keppinger for deeper AL-only formats on Draft Day. (Updated 2/8/12)
