Juan Yepez - Hit streak at seven games Yepez went 1-for-2 with two walks and a double in Thursday's loss to the Mets. Impact Since taking over the starting job at first base for the Nationals, Yepez has hit safely in seven straight games, batting .308 (8-for-26) with four doubles, two RBI and 4:5 BB:K. Joey Gallo (hamstring) likely won't be ready to come off the IL immediately after the All-Star break, but if Yepez keeps producing, he may not give the job back whenever the veteran slugger does get activated -- Gallo's .606 OPS through 165 plate appearances this season is a career low.
