2022 MLB Playoffs: Phillies stun Cardinals with ninth-inning rally in Game 1

Added to Monday's lineup Yepez is starting Monday against the Pirates, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Yepez was slated to be out of the lineup for a third consecutive game Monday, but he'll start at the hot corner and bat sixth after Nolan Arenado (undisclosed) was scratched. Yepez went 2-for-3 with two doubles during Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh.

Losing work to Dickerson, Pujols Yepez is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Pittsburgh, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Now on the bench for the third game in a row, Yepez appears to be behind both Corey Dickerson and Albert Pujols in the pecking order in left field and at designated hitter, respectively. Since his call-up from Triple-A Memphis on Sept. 19, Yepez has gone 9-for-31 with a home run and three doubles in 10 games.

Not in Saturday's lineup Yepez isn't starting Saturday against the Pirates, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Yepez started the last two games but went 0-for-8 with three strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Albert Pujols serves as the designated hitter and bats fifth.

OCTOBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Moving into regular role Yepez will start at third base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Brewers, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Though he'll be filling in for a resting Nolan Arenado on Wednesday, Yepez looks to have established himself as a near-everyday player in left field or at designated hitter as the regular season winds down. Playing time could be tougher to come by whenever Tyler O'Neill (hamstring) is activated from the injured list, but Yepez's recent form gives him a good chance at sticking around as a lineup regular over Corey Dickerson. Since his Sept. 19 call-up, Yepez has gone 7-for-18 with a pair of extra-base hits and a walk in six games. Meanwhile, Dickerson enters Wednesday's game in the midst of an 0-for-21 run over his past eight contests.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Crushes 12th homer Yepez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run during Friday's 11-0 win against the Dodgers.

Impact Yepez doubled in the third inning, scored after reaching on an error in the fifth and took Los Angeles reliever Caleb Ferguson deep in the seventh. The 24-year-old rookie has made three straight starts since being recalled from Triple-A earlier this week and he's slashing .255/.297/.468 with 12 home runs, 26 runs and 28 RBI in 66 games.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • MLB.COM

Back in big leagues Yepez was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Monday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Yepez has appeared in only one major-league contest over the last two-plus months, but he'll get another chance down the stretch of the regular season. Nolan Gorman was optioned to the minors in a corresponding move.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Activated, sent to Triple-A Yepez (forearm) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

Impact It was mistakenly reported that Yepez was activated from the IL and optioned to Triple-A on Thursday, but he instead appeared in one final rehab game with Memphis. The 24-year-old will remain with the Redbirds now that he's fully healthy, and it likely won't be too long before he's recalled to the big-league club. Yepez has appeared in 62 games during his first year in the majors and has a .254/.298/.459 slash line with 11 home runs and 27 RBI.

AUGUST 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not activated, still rehabbing Yepez (forearm) remains on the 10-day injured list and will continue his rehab assignment at Triple-A Memphis on Thursday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Earlier Wednesday, Denton reported that Yepez had been activated from the IL and optioned to Memphis, but the Cardinals haven't yet made any transaction related to the rookie. Instead, Yepez, who has been on the shelf since mid-July with a Grade 2 forearm strain, will get more work in Memphis after his rehab program had been slowed over the past few days by an illness. According to Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat, Yepez is scheduled to play nine innings in the outfield for Memphis on Thursday and Friday, so any potential roster move likely wouldn't come until Saturday at the soonest.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Activated, sent back to Triple-A The Cardinals reinstated Yepez (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Memphis, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Yepez was expected to come off the IL on Tuesday, but the Cardinals pushed his activation back a day after he contended with an illness over the weekend. Though the rookie is now seemingly over both the ailment and the right forearm strain that first sent him to the IL on July 15, the Cardinals don't have a spot in the everyday lineup available for him and will instead have him report to Triple-A so he can play regularly. Lars Nootbaar's emergence as the team's everyday right fielder along with Nolan Gorman and Albert Pujols forming a productive platoon at designated hitter have closed off Yepez's primary paths to at-bats.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Illness delays activation Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Yepez (forearm) won't be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday while the 24-year-old looks to overcome an illness, Jeff Jones of...

Impact The ailment first cropped up Sunday, when Yepez was scheduled to make what was expected to be his fifth and final rehab appearance at Triple-A Memphis. He was scratched from Memphis' lineup Sunday but already seems to be showing improvement, as he worked out in St. Louis on Monday and Tuesday. Marmol suggested that Yepez could still benefit from a full game in the outfield before being activated from the IL, so it's possible that Yepez heads back to Memphis for one final contest. He should make his return from the IL no later than this weekend.

AUGUST 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Tuesday Yepez (forearm) could be reinstated from the injured list as early as Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Yepez began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday and has gone 3-for-11 with a run and a strikeout over three games. He'll play at least six innings in right field Saturday and is expected to play between six and nine innings in right field Sunday.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting rehab assignment Tuesday Yepez (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Yepez will be eased into action by serving as the designated hitter and playing first base as he works through a throwing program. It's expected the 24-year-old will get at least one game in right field later in the assignment, so he's likely at least a week away from a return to the Cardinals, barring any setbacks.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hoping to start throwing Friday Yepez said that he's no longer feeling discomfort in his strained right forearm while swinging the bat and is hopeful to resume a throwing program Friday, Jeff Jones of the Bellevi...

Impact Completing a throwing program would likely be the final benchmark Yepez needs to reach in his recovery from the injury before heading out on what would likely be a brief minor-league rehab assignment. Yepez had been handling a near-everyday role for St. Louis prior to landing on the injured list in mid-July, but it's unclear if he'll immediately reclaim a regular spot in the lineup once he's activated.

AUGUST 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out at least another week Yepez (forearm) is expected to miss at least another week, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Yepez has been swinging a bat over the last few days but is still experiencing discomfort while throwing. The 24-year-old will need at least another week to recover, and it's possible that he'll require a brief rehab assignment prior to rejoining the Cardinals.

JULY 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Resumes swinging Yepez (forearm) has felt better while swinging recently but hasn't yet resumed throwing, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Yepez was diagnosed with a Grade 2 forearm strain last week but has made good progress in his recovery so far, and the Cardinals are hopeful that he'll be able to resume throwing in 3-4 days. The 24-year-old is eligible to return to action as early as Tuesday against the Blue Jays, but it seems likely that the team will wait to activate him until he's fully ready to play.

JULY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with Grade 2 strain Yepez (forearm) has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Yepez sustained his forearm injury while throwing home Thursday. A Grade 2 strain typically sidelines players between 10 days and three weeks. He landed on the 10-day injured list Friday, while Albert Pujols, Corey Dickerson and Lars Nootbaar should see increased playing time in his absence.

JULY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out with forearm strain Yepez was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right forearm Friday.

Impact It's possible the injury could explain why Yepez has just one hit in his last six games. He'll be out until at least the second series of the second half, though a precise timeline for his return has yet to be established. Lars Nootbaar was recalled in a corresponding move, though it's Corey Dickerson who will get the start in right field Friday.

JULY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gets Wednesday off Yepez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Albert Pujols is receiving another start as the Cardinals' designated hitter and Lars Nootbaar will crack the lineup in the corner outfield in the spot opposite Corey Dickerson, so Yepez will retreat to the bench for the penultimate game of the series with Los Angeles. Yepez had started in every game for the Cardinals dating back to June 20, hitting .225/.238/.463 with five home runs, 11 RBI and one additional run over a stretch of 22 games.

JULY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pops another homer Yepez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-3 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Yepez has flexed his power lately with five homers and two doubles in his last eight games. A consistent place in the lineup has served him well since Tyler O'Neill (hamstring) and Harrison Bader (foot) went on the injured list in the last two weeks. Yepez is up to 11 long balls, 26 RBI, 23 runs scored and 10 doubles while slashing a strong .281/.321/.522 through 193 plate appearances.

JULY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Solo shot in win Yepez went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Phillies.

Impact Yepez turned out to hit the third of four consecutive home runs in the first inning of Saturday's game. He was preceded by homers from Nolan Arenado and Nolan Gorman and immediately followed by a home run from Dylan Carlson. Yepez now has 10 home runs on the season. The young hitter has hits in his last three games and is slashing .281/.323/.515 this year.
