Juan Yepez

Juan Yepez was unable to take part in live batting practice on Tuesday after fouling a pitch off his left shin on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Yepez was able to partake in fielding drills. The injury doesn't appear to be too serious long-term. He should be good to go for Opening Day.

Juan Yepez went 2-for-3 Sunday, singling twice and scoring one run in the Cardinals' 4-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

Yepez has gotten hot at the plate for the Cardinals, hitting .300 with three runs scored, one home run, and one run batted in over his last seven games. The 24-year-old carries a .771 OPS with 27 runs scored, 12 home runs, and 28 runs batted in through 68 games this season.

Juan Yepez went 2-for-5 Friday, doubling, homering, scoring two runs, and driving in one run in the Cardinals' 11-0 win over the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

Yepez has picked up hits in two of three September games for the Cardinals, scoring two runs and driving in one run in that span. The 24-year-old is hitting .255 with 26 runs scored, 12 home runs, and 28 runs batted in through 66 games this season.

Juan Yepez was recalled on Monday from Triple-A Memphis.

Fantasy Impact

Yepez has spent much of his time in Triple-A since returning from injury on August 9. During that time in Memphis, Yepez hit .275 with seven home runs. With Gorman optioned to Triple-A, Yepez could have a chance at more regular playing time with the Cardinals.

Juan Yepez (forearm) has been activated from the IL and optioned to Triple-A Memphis.

Fantasy Impact

While Yepez seems to be over his forearm injury, the Cardinals will opt to keep him in the minors for the time being. He likely wouldn't have had consistent at-bats in St.Louis with the likes of Lars Nootbar, Brendan Donavan, and Albert Pujols needing ABs as well. He'll almost certainly see the big leagues again in 2022.
