Latest News about Max Kepler
The Arizona Diamondbacks activated Max Kepler from the restricted list on Thursday after he completed his 80-game suspension for a performance-enhancing drug violation. Kepler, who was suspended in January 2026 for testing positive for epitrenbolone, is now eligible to play again, though his suspension had previously barred him from the 2026 postseason.
Max Kepler, a 32-year-old free-agent outfielder, was suspended for 80 games by Major League Baseball after testing positive for the synthetic anabolic steroid epitrenbolone. The suspension, announced on January 9, 2026, will begin when he signs a major league contract for the 2026 season, and he remains ineligible for the 2026 postseason. Kepler, who played 127 games for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2025 with 18 home runs, is the first player suspended for this substance since MLB began publicly announcing penalties in 2005.
