Young will serve as the Braves' everyday center fielder until Melvin Upton (foot) returns, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. As expected, Young will open the year as the team's starter in center, and he will almost certainly lead off against right-handed pitching as well. It's also worth noting that Young was atop the order the last time the Braves faced a lefty in spring ball, which may be a sign manager Fredi Gonzalez is at least considering having Young as his full-time leadoff man. The Braves still need to make room for Young on the 40-man roster before Sunday's 3 PM ET deadline for teams to finalize rosters.
