Young revealed in a post on his personal Instagram account that he underwent season-ending surgery on his left elbow March 31.

EDGE Analysis

The exact nature of Young's procedure isn't known, but the 31-year-old revealed in his social media post that doctors informed him that he had been unknowingly pitching with a distal tear in his left elbow for the past nine years. His surgery should provide a permanent fix for the compromised ligament, but it's not clear if Young will be back to full health by the time spring training rolls around. Young is under contract on a minor-league deal with Cincinnati and will have the ability to elect free agency after the season.

Young traveled back to Cincinnati be examined by the Reds' orthopedist to determine whether he needs Tommy John surgery, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear when Young was injured, but he last appeared in a Cactus League game March 8 and was reassigned to minor-league camp Sunday. The Reds should have more information on his status later this week.

The Reds assigned Young to minor-league camp Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Young signed a minor-league contract with the Reds in January after being non-tendered by the Mets in late November. He gave up six runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five across three innings in spring training, and the 31-year-old southpaw will look to regain his form in the minors, likely with Triple-A Gwinnett.

The Reds signed Young to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Young began last season with the Reds before being traded to the Giants and then finishing the year with the Mets. The left-handed reliever dealt with back problems in 2024 but has been pretty effective since 2022 when available, posting a 3.28 ERA and 86:38 K:BB over 96 innings. Young has a shot to win a bullpen job in Cincinnati if he has a strong camp.

The Mets non-tendered Young on Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Young started the 2024 regular season on the Reds' injured list due to a back injury he suffered during spring training. He was activated off IL in late May, but after being traded to the Giants on July 7, he was subsequently designated for assignment by San Francisco, which led to him being claimed off waivers by the Mets on July 17. Young appeared in just 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with a 2.87 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 15.2 innings.

The Mets optioned Young to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Joey Lucchesi, who will start the second game of Monday's doubleheader in Atlanta. Young has permitted five runs with a 13:7 K:BB over 13.2 innings with the Mets this season.

The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old lefty has previously made 10 appearances in the big leagues this season between the Mets and Reds, logging a 1.00 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. He's expected to work mostly in the middle innings during his upcoming stint in the New York bullpen.

The Mets will recall Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

MLB rosters will expand to 28 players Sunday, which will allow the Mets to add Young to their bullpen as additional depth. The 30-year-old southpaw has allowed just one run in nine innings between New York and Cincinnati this year, though he's given up four runs over 6.2 frames at Syracuse since making his last MLB appearance.

The Mets optioned Young to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move is to make room on the 26-man roster for the activation of Reed Garrett (elbow) from the 15-day injured list. Young has made seven outings since being claimed off waivers by the Mets on July 17, posting a 1.29 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across seven innings. Given his strong play in a small sample size, Young could make his way back to the big club to provide a southpaw option out of the bullpen.

The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Christian Scott (elbow) headed to the injured list, Young, who was claimed off waivers Wednesday from San Francisco, will join the 26-man roster and make his Mets debut. The left-hander has logged two big-league innings this season, yielding four hits and no runs with a pair of strikeouts. He'll serve out of the bullpen for the Mets.
