Yepez collects three hits vs. former team
Juan Yepez went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI as the Nationals topped the Cardinals 10-8 on Friday. The new Joey Meneses appears better than the old one, as Yepez has hit .375/.423/.609 in 71 plate appearances since being called up on July 5. He shouldn’t keep up this pace, but he’s definitely an option in deeper mixed leagues while playing regularly for the Nationals.
Carlson hitless with three strikeouts
Dylan Carlson went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts against the Nationals in Friday’s loss. Two years ago at this time, Carlson was a much-debated part of the Cardinals’ talks with the Nationals in the Juan Soto negotiations. Now, though, that seems like a ridiculous joke, as Carlson has been one of MLB’s weakest players since the start of 2023. If the Cardinals find any offensive help prior to the deadline, Carlson might head to Triple-A. It’s very much warranted with him hitting .200/.277/.242 through 137 plate appearances.
