Young was optioned to Arizona's alternate training site Friday.

EDGE Analysis

This is the corresponding move or Kole Calhoun (knee) getting activated from the injured list. Young will continue to serve as organizational infield depth going forward.

Young was recalled by the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Diamondbacks need an extra bat after Ketel Marte was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right hamstring. Young doesn't project as much more than a bench bat and may not start very many games during his time with the team, though he hit a strong .271/.368/.535 across the two highest levels of the minors in 2019. He hit a modest .192/.382/.385 in his 12-game big-league debut last season.

Young was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old was competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster in a utility role, but he'll open the season in the minors. Young made his big-league debut for the Diamondbacks last season and had a .192/.382/.385 slash line with one homer and four RBI in 34 plate appearances.

Young (hand) is starting in left field and batting seventh in Monday's Cactus League game against the Brewers, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After serving as a backup designated hitter and striking out in his lone plate appearance in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Rockies, Young will now pick up his first start of the spring. His inclusion in the lineup is an indiction that he's made a full recovery from the surgery he required last September to remove the hamate bone from his hand. The 26-year-old got the chance to make his big-league debut in 2020, seeing action in 12 games while slashing .192/.382/.385 over 34 plate appearances.

Young is out for the year after undergoing surgery to remove his hamate bone Friday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Young required the surgery after getting struck in the hand by a pitch at Arizona's alternate training site. He should have time to heal before the start of the 2021 season.

Young was optioned to Arizona's alternate training site Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Young has played sporadically for the Diamondbacks this season, hitting .192/.382/.385 over 12 games. He'll make way on the active roster for Madison Bumgarner's return from a back injury.

Young started at third base in place of the resting Eduardo Escobar and went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Young made his second start in three games. The lineup was dotted with young players as Escobar and Ketel Marte were rested. Josh Rojas started at second base while Daulton Varsho served as the designated hitter. Manager Torey Lovullo will use the rest of the season to evaluate prospects, although Escobar and/or Marte should still be in the lineup most nights.

Young is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Young started at the keystone Tuesday and is a logical candidate to fill the position with Ketel Marte expected to see time in center field after Starling Marte was traded, but Ketel Marte is back at second base Wednesday. Young has a .211/.423/.421 slash line with one homer and one double in 26 plate appearances this season.

Young started at designated hitter and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

This was the first lineup after Arizona traded center fielder Starling Marte, and it's notable that Young was in it. Daulton Varsho, a catching prospect with outfield experience, started in center field Tuesday, but the Diamondbacks could also use second baseman Ketel Marte in center. In that event, Young could receive developmental plate appearances at second base. Young is hitless with four strikeouts and two walks in seven plate appearances since his recent callup.

Young started at designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Friday's 7-4 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Young was recently called up to Arizona for a second time this season and could pick up consistent at-bats at DH. The Diamondbacks do not have a primary DH, a spot that Jake Lamb was expected to fill, but he has not produced enough to hold onto the job.
