Swats seventh homer Yepez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Cubs on Sunday.

Impact Yepez joined in on a hit parade against innings-eater Alec Mills, belting the Cardinals' third home run of the third inning. That was all the damage it took to chase Mills from the game, and Yepez now has seven home runs since being called up May 4. The 24-year-old rookie first baseman is slashing .318/.304/.545 over the past week and continues to prove that he is ready for an everyday role in the big leagues.

Regular role reopens Yepez went 2-for-3 with his seventh double of the season in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Brewers.

Impact Yepez accounted for the Cardinals' only extra-base hit on the night and looks poised to recapture a steady role after he was on the bench for the team's previous four games. Though he filled in at first base Monday while Paul Goldschmidt served as the Cardinals' designated hitter, Yepez projects to see most of his playing time at DH or in left field for the foreseeable future after Tyler O'Neill (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to the series opener in Milwaukee.

Homers as pinch hitter Yepez hit a three-run home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Yepez hit for catcher Ivan Herrera in the ninth inning, and he lasered a three-run blast over the Green Monster. Considering he's been limited to just two at-bats as a pinch hitter in the last four games, this was a good time for the rookie slugger to show some power. He's up to six homers, 16 RBI, 18 runs scored and six doubles while maintaining a .276/.333/.465 slash line through 141 plate appearances. Yepez will likely continue to battle with Albert Pujols for starts as the designated hitter.

Sitting in fourth straight game Yepez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Yepez will sit for the fourth consecutive game and has started to see his playing time dry up in the wake of the recent returns of Tyler O'Neill and Dylan Carlson from the injured list along with Brendan Donovan's emergence as an everyday player. If the Cardinals can't find steady at-bats for him in the near future, Yepez could be headed back to Triple-A Memphis soon.

JUNE 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench for afternoon game Yepez is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Pirates, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Yepez will head to the bench for the third time in five games, with his playing time beginning to take a hit of late as a result of the recent returns of Tyler O'Neill and Dylan Carlson from the injured list. Carlson will be joining Yepez on the bench for the afternoon game, allowing Albert Pujols to enter the lineup at first base while Paul Goldschmidt serves as the Cardinals' designated hitter.

JUNE 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hits late homer Yepez went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Reds.

Impact Yepez got the Cardinals within a run with his ninth-inning blast, but they couldn't tie the game. The 24-year-old rookie drew the start at first base Sunday with Paul Goldschmidt getting a rare day off. Yepez has gone 8-for-28 (.286) in 10 games in June while finding playing time in the corner outfield spots and as the designated hitter. He's been solid with a .280/.341/.458 slash line, five homers, 13 RBI, 16 runs scored and six doubles through 35 contests, but the recent returns of Tyler O'Neill and Dylan Carlson could cause Yepez to lose playing time if his hitting slips.

Goes deep in blowout win Yepez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a 10-1 victory versus the Orioles on Wednesday.

The long ball was the second of the rookie's career and extended his hitting streak to seven games to begin his big-league tenure.

He's 9-for-19 with four extra-base hits in his first five career games. As long as he's swinging a hot bat, Yepez should continue seeing regular playing time.

Keeps earning opportunities Yepez will bat fifth and serve as the designated hitter Saturday against San Francisco.

Impact Yepez will be making his fourth straight start since getting called up for his major-league debut Wednesday. His first start came in right field, but the last three have come at the designated hitter spot, where Corey Dickerson (.439 OPS) and Albert Pujols (.695 OPS) had opened the year in a rather uninspiring platoon. Yepez has five hits, including three doubles, through his first three major-league games, and he's likely to keep earning chances as long as he keeps hitting.

Two hits in debut Yepez went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and a run scored in Wednesday's 10-0 win over the Royals.

Impact Yepez earned the promotion to the majors after swatting nine home runs in 22 games to start the season at Triple-A Memphis. He wasn't able to leave the yard in his major-league debut, but the two doubles are an early illustration of his power. He'll be a depth option at the corner infield and corner outfield positions while he's up with the Cardinals. Yepez's best chance at playing time could be in right field, where Dylan Carlson has struggled to start the year.

With Dylan Carlson struggling to open the 2022 campaign, Yepez could work his way into a substantial role in the Cardinals' outfield if his bat stays hot.
