2025 Fantasy Outlook
Almost immediately upon his MLB return in July, Yepez was batting 2-4 in the Washington lineup, which speaks more to the Nationals' lack of impact bats last season than anything else. To be fair, Yepez hit over .290 in two of his three months in the majors. However, he's not the type of hitter you expect to see in the heart of the order long term. The pressure will be on for him to hit since he's mostly limited to first base and DH at this stage. Yepez showed an improved strikeout rate last season, but he supplied a rather empty batting average with below-average power. The Cardinals previously dumped Yepez and his projected volume for 2025 could go out the window with one poor stretch since he doesn't really provide any defensive value. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Nationals in March of 2025.
Stays in organization
The Nationals outrighted Yepez to Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday.
Analysis
While no longer on the 40-man roster, Yepez will remain in the Nationals organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 27-year-old has slashed only .199/.273/.301 at Rochester in 2025.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Fresh off a 28-homer showing between the majors and minors, Yepez looked a year ago at this time like he could eventually slot into the middle part of the Cardinals' batting order. He had quite a fall in 2023, though, spending the overwhelming majority of his season back at Triple-A Memphis where he managed just a .736 OPS and nine home runs over 86 contests. The Cards non-tendered Yepez after the season even as he was not yet eligible for salary arbitration. He managed to land in a much more favorable situation for playing time when he inked a minor-league contract with the Nationals. Yepez is not on the 40-man roster and has options remaining, so he's not guaranteed anything. Still, the Nats haven't exactly set up roadblocks at the positions Yepez can play, so he could get a shot. At this point, the 26-year-old is more of a name to monitor in deeper formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Time may be up in St. Louis
Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat speculated Friday the Cardinals could deal Yepez ahead of the Aug. 1 trade deadline.
Analysis
The 25-year-old had a solid rookie campaign last year with a .743 OPS and 12 homers in 76 games, but he's been unable to carve out significant playing time in 2023. Yepez has a .214/.283/.381 slash line in 46 big-league plate appearances and has struggled at Triple-A Memphis as well with a .637 OPS in 37 games. He likely won't enter the offseason with any guarantees of retaining his spot on the 40-man roster, so the Cardinals could try to get what they can for him now via trade.
