Yadier Molina Back In, Juan Yepez Making MLB Debut
3 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (illness) is back behind the dish and is hitting eighth on Wednesday against Kansas City Royals left-hander Kris Bubic. Also, outfielder Juan Yepez is making his major league debut in right field, and he will hit fifth in the batting order. Molina missed Tuesday's game with sinus issues, but the 39-year-old is back in there. He hasn't been much of a fantasy asset with a .208 average, one extra-base hit and no RBI in the early going. Yepez, the team's No. 6 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was hitting .279 with nine home runs and 26 RBI in 22 games for Triple-A Memphis before his call-up. The 24-year-old can also play first and third base, but he could see regular playing time in St. Louis if Dylan Carlson continues to struggle.
