Nationals' Juan Yepez: Sitting against another righty

It's the second straight absence and third in four games for Yepez, with his only start during that stretch coming against a left-handed starter. Joey Gallo is starting at first base while Andres Chaparro serves as the designated hitter Wednesday against Miami righty Valente Bellozo, as it appears Yepez has fallen into the short side of a platoon, at least for the time being.

Nationals' Juan Yepez: Sitting amid rough patch
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.
