Juan Yepez

Juan Yepez getting reps at third base in Nationals camp

Juan Yepez has been working out primarily at third base early in spring training, per Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post. While he played the position frequently in the minors and made three starts there with the Cardinals in 2022, he has not played third base in a game setting since then.

Fantasy Impact

The Nationals currently lack a clear starter at third base, making Yepez’s positional work worth monitoring. However, given his defensive limitations, it remains a long shot that he will earn regular playing time at the hot corner. If he continues to see reps and impresses in camp, he could emerge as a depth option, but for now, he remains off the fantasy radar outside of deep leagues.
