Yepez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.
Yepez will head to the bench for the second time in three games while he's gone just 2-for-26 at the dish over his last eight contests, bringing his slash line down to .279/.331/.422 over 163 plate appearances since getting a call-up to Washington on July 4. His recent struggles could cost him a regular spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching, as Joey Gallo looms as a potential alternative following his return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Gallo will fill in for Yepez at first base in Wednesday's contest.
