Juan Yepez
Yepez is making it hard for Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol to not find a spot for him in the lineup. He just keeps making big, impactful hits. After about a week, Yepez is doing a good job in making sure he sticks with the major league club for good.
On Tuesday, Yepez was 1-for-3 with a strike out. He hit a single 85-feet at 107 mph.
On Wednesday, Yepez was 2-for-5 with an RBI and a strikeout.
He hit his first home run in front of the home crowd at Busch Stadium in the second inning. It was his second homer of the season with the fly to left-center field off Spenser Watkins. The homer traveled 412-feet at 103.7 mph.
On Thursday, Yepez was 0-for-3, with a walk.
