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

EDGE Analysis

Yepez 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 was immediately followed by a home run from Dylan Carlson. Yepez now has 10 home runs on the season. The young hitter has at least one hit in his last three games and is slashing .281/.323/.515 this year.

Yepez went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Monday's 9-0 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start at designated hitter and batting seventh, the 24-year-old rookie powered the Cardinals to a rout with a three-run blast off Pablo Lopez in the fourth inning and a two-run shot off Richard Bleier in the sixth. Yepez has gone yard three times in the last two games and four times in the last nine, a hot streak that has boosted his slash line on the season to .282/.327/.506 with nine homers and 24 RBI through 47 contests.

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

EDGE Analysis

Yepez joined in on a hit parade off of 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 on 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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Yepez is out of the lineup for Friday's game versus Cincinnati, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Yepez is 3-for-19 over his past seven games and will take a seat Friday. Nolan Gorman will serve as the designated hitter while Brendan Donovan starts at the keystone.

Yepez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Yepez will take a seat after going 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a walk in Sunday's victory over the Cubs. Albert Pujols will get the start at designated hitter and bat fourth Tuesday.
