Yepez, recovering from a forearm strain, will head to Memphis on Tuesday for what he believes will be a week or less of games. The right-handed batter, who has hit 11 home runs in just 62 games, will start off playing first base for a few innings, he said. Then he would serve as a designated hitter and graduate to right field, which is where the Cardinals really want to see him perform. Manager Oliver Marmol said he was envisioning Yepez as a right-handed-hitting counterpart to left-handed-batting Lars Nootbaar in the Cardinals’ new-look outfield — which will feature left fielder Tyler O’Neill and center fielder Dylan Carlson as everyday players. Yepez did his most extensive throwing on Sunday before the game. He has been out longer than anticipated — Yepez was hurt in mid-July — because he had encountered discomfort in the first throwing program he undertook. “We had a little setback,” he said. “We threw too quickly, so we had to shut it down for a bit. We threw and it started hurting the elbow. But we’re definitely in the right direction.” [/QUOTE]
