Yepez is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. Andres Chaparro (personal) is away on paternity leave, but Luis Garcia will get another start at designated hitter, which leaves no room in the lineup for Yepez. Yepez had started seven of the previous eight contests, although he's seen his playing time drop in September on the whole.

Yepez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Thursday against the Rockies. Yepez's eighth-inning blast drove in three and put the game on ice for the Nationals.
