St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Juan Yepez went 2-for-3 with two doubles in Wednesday’s loss to the Marlins. Yepez has now picked up an even 10 doubles in 49 games this season. The rookie outfielder is slashing a sturdy .284/.328/.512 with nine homers and 24 across 162 at-bats. This was the second time in his last three games that Yepez has finished with two hits. On Wednesday evening, it was two doubles. He earlier in the series connected for a pair of home runs.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Nick Castellanos went 2-for-4 and hit a three-run homer against the Braves on Thursday. Castellanos is finally back on the board after going a month without a homer; his previous one came on May 30. The Phillies will badly need more of this from him with Bryce Harper sidelined.
