Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

With Cal Raleigh getting a day off from catching but sticking in the lineup at designated hitter, Jorge Polanco will receive the start at second base while Young heads to the bench. The rookie still appears to be viewed as Seattle's top option at the keystone, but with a .253 batting average, three home runs, one steal, 21 runs and 16 RBI through his first 53 big-league games, Young's fantasy appeal will mostly be limited to AL-only leagues or deeper mixed leagues.

Young is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners will give Cal Raleigh a day off from catching but are keeping his bat in the lineup at designated hitter, so Jorge Polanco will give up his usual DH duties but stay in the starting nine himself by taking over for Young at second base. Young had started in each of Seattle's last six games, going 6-for-17 with a home run, a stolen base, four walks, four RBI and four runs to improve his season-long slash line to .252/.326/.352 over 179 plate appearances.

Young went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI triple and a second run scored in Thursday's 6-0 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Young's fifth-inning home run was a mammoth blast to right field that left the bat at 113.4 mph. The next inning, he added an RBI triple at a still-sizzling 106.3 mph exit velocity before scoring on a passed ball. The infielder entered Thursday just 4-for-24 over nine games since the All-Star break, so this was a big performance for him. He's up to a .247/.311/.356 slash line with three homers, 14 RBI, 16 runs scored, five doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 162 plate appearances. The Mariners' trade-deadline moves didn't address the middle infield, so look for Young to continue holding a strong-side platoon role at second base.

Young isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Young will get a chance to rest Saturday after going 1-for-3 with a walk during Friday's contest. Jorge Polanco will cover second base while Young rests, putting Cal Raleigh at the DH spot while Mitch Garver starts behind the dish.

Young went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 8-4 win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Young and Jorge Polanco hit back-to-back solo home runs as part of a four-run ninth inning. The long ball was Young's second of his rookie campaign, and he'll take a five-game hit streak into the All-Star break. He's 7-for-18 (.389) with four RBI and four runs scored during that stretch.

Young went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 9-6 loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie second baseman hit the last of four Seattle long balls on the night, getting hold of a seventh-inning curveball from Jonathan Loaisiga and lofting it into the short porch at Yankee Stadium. It was Young's first career homer in the majors, and while the M's are being patient with the top prospect, his .234/.278/.299 slash line through his first 116 plate appearances suggest the keystone is a spot the team could look to upgrade at the trade deadline.

Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie infielder will exit the lineup for the first time since June 22, ending a stretch of 14 consecutive starts. Jorge Polanco will step in at second base in place of Young, who could benefit from the day off after going 0-for-12 with five strikeouts over the past four contests.

Young went 3-for-4 with one run scored in Monday's 6-2 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Young has settled in at the plate fairly well lately, going 10-for-31 (.323) over his last nine games. He's drawn just one walk in that span, but he also just four strikeouts, which is a showcase of the steady plate discipline that helped him reach the majors as a 21-year-old. Overall, Young has a .259/.297/.306 slash line with no home runs, seven RBI, eight runs scored, four doubles and no stolen bases. He's a contact-over-power player at the plate, and the speed should show up eventually -- he had 22 steals, albeit on 33 attempts, with Double-A Arkansas in 2024.

Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Young will take a seat after he went 0-for-6 with three strikeouts in the first two contests of the series. Jorge Polanco will replace Young at the keystone.

Young is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Though he will hit the bench while the Red Sox send star southpaw Garrett Crochet to the mound, the lefty-hitting Young appears to have built up some job security as the Mariners' top second baseman against right-handed pitching. The rookie has slashed .379/.419/.483 with four runs and four RBI over his previous eight starts.
