The MLB trade deadline is Tuesday as some teams look to shake things up with their rosters to make that push toward a World Series run. Look for prospects and veterans to be moved around that could ultimately benefit or ding playing time, stats, etc. We have already seen Randy Arozarena, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Jesse Winker, Carlos Estevez, Danny Jansen, Tommy Edman, Erick Fedde, and Zach Eflin switch uniforms. At RotoBaller HQ, we keep track of all the deadline moves and update our rankings to ...

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ LeaguesROSTERED IN: 5% of LeaguesANALYSIS:Washington Nationals first baseman/outfielder Juan Yepez has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball and is worth adding in all standard formats.Since joining the major league roster on July 5, the 26-year-old has tallied at least one hit in his first 11 games. During this incredible stretch, he has held a .390/.468/.610 slash line with one home run, six RBI, one stolen base, and a 6:7 BB:K ratio.Juan Yepez since his call-up ...

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Juan Yepez has hit his way up the batting order. In five games, Yepez is hitting .316/.350/.474 with one homer and one RBI this season. It's a small sample size, but the Cardinals will ride with the hot bat. Yepez will move into the five spot and cover left field against left-hander James Paxton on Friday. It'll be Paxton's first start of the season, so this could be a good opportunity for Yepez to make some noise against a rusty pitcher.

The St. Louis Cardinals placed outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) on the 10-day injured list and right-hander Jake Woodford (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Friday and recalled outfielder/infielder Juan Yepez and right-hander James Naile from Triple-A Memphis in corresponding moves. Right-hander Wilking Rodriguez (shoulder) was also moved to the 60-day IL. O'Neill will miss at least a week with a lower-back strain, and the 27-year-old was hitting a disappointing .228 with two home runs...

St. Louis Cardinals infielder and outfielder Juan Yepez enjoyed a solid debut season in the Majors last season. The 24-year-old hit .253 with a .296 on-base percentage and 12 home runs in 274 plate appearances for the National League Central club. And while he didn't draw a ton of walks or log a high on-base percentage, Yepez' wRC+ did finish nine points above the league average at 109. More importantly, he logged a quality 9.2% barrel rate. He also finished in the 95th percentile league-wide ...

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder/third baseman Juan Yepez is in the starting lineup Saturday, batting sixth and playing right field. Yepez is in for Dylan Carlson, in what is probably a case of playing the hot hand. Yepez had a clutch pinch-hit, two-out, two-run home run in game one to put the Cardinals up, and manager Oliver Marmol likely wants to see if he can do it again. Otherwise, the Cardinals lineup remains the same other than some positional changes.

The St. Louis Cardinals recalled outfielder Juan Yepez from Triple-A Memphis and optioned Nolan Gorman on Monday. Yepez has logged 229 plate appearances with the Cardinals in 2022, hitting .252 with 11 homers, 24 runs, and 27 RBI. The rookie outfielder is expected to help out in the outfield in St. Louis with Tyler O'Neill (hamstring) on the injured list. Yepez could help out fantasy teams in deeper leagues and NL-only formats over the final few weeks of the season.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Juan Yepez (forearm) has been activated off the IL and sent to Triple-A Memphis. Yepez had been contributing nicely for the Cardinals, but was slumping hard in July, slashing just .149/.196/.277 with two homers over 47 at-bats. With Lars Nootbaar heating up and Tyler O'Neill, Dylan Carlson, and Brendan Donovan contributing in different ways for the Cardinals, it appears there just isn't a spot right now for Yepez. The team likely wants him to keep getting ...
