Atlanta signed Young (elbow) to a one-year contract Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

It's a split contract for Young, who will miss at least the first half of the 2026 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The left-handed reliever holds a career 4.01 ERA and 78:25 K:BB over 60.2 innings covering parts of four major-league seasons, which includes stints in Atlanta in 2022 and 2023.

The Mets non-tendered Young on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Young made the Mets' Opening Day roster, but his 2025 season was cut short after undergoing Tommy John Surgery in May. If he does manage to sign with a team, he's unlikely to be healthy enough to contribute until at least the second half of the 2026 campaign.

The Mets are expected to non-tender Young (elbow), Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Young gave up four earned runs over 8.1 innings with the Mets in 2025 before undergoing Tommy John surgery in May, which will likely keep him out through the first half of the 2026 season. The 31-year-old will officially become a free agent following Friday's non-tender deadline.

The Mets transferred Young (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

According to Will Sammon of The Athletic, Young is slated to undergo Tommy John surgery in the near future, which will end his season and likely keep him out until the second half of the 2026 campaign. By shifting him to the 60-day IL, the Mets were able to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Blade Tidwell, who was called up from Triple-A Syracuse to start the first game of Sunday's doubleheader in St. Louis. Before being shut down in late April with the elbow injury, Young had been a key piece in the New York bullpen, gathering four holds while pitching to a 4.32 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB across 8.1 innings in 10 appearances.

Manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday that Young may need to undergo Tommy John surgery, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Young landed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a sprained left elbow, but he now may be at risk of missing the rest of the season plus a significant portion of the 2026 campaign. The Mets will know more about how to properly handle the southpaw's injury within the next few days, but he's likely facing an extended absence even if he doesn't undergo surgery.

The Mets placed Young on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to Sunday, with a left elbow sprain.

EDGE Analysis

Young has surrendered five runs (four earned) over 8.1 innings this season, but he seems to have come away from his most recent outing Saturday with an elbow injury. He'll now take the next couple of weeks to heal; meanwhile, Chris Devenski will come up from Triple-A Syracuse to make up for the loss in New York's bullpen.

Young will likely win a spot on the Mets' Opening Day roster, Will Sammon and Tim Britton of The Athletic report.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old would provide the Mets' bullpen with a second lefty behind A.J. Minter, who still isn't guaranteed to avoid a brief IL stint to begin the year after undergoing hip surgery last August. Young has a 3:0 K:BB over three Grapefruit League innings this spring, and after posting a 4.54 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 48:18 K:BB over 37.2 regular-season innings in 2024, he'll likely be ticketed for a low-leverage role.

The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Young has posted a 5.11 ERA and 16:6 K:BB over 12.1 frames this season at the big-league level. He will give manager Carlos Mendoza a second lefty in the bullpen to pair with Jake Diekman.

The Mets optioned Young to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander was recalled by the Mets last weekend and made four appearances during the brief stint in the majors, allowing six runs on six hits with a 4:2 K:BB over 3.1 innings. Young has a 5.11 ERA across 13 outings with the big club this year.

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

EDGE Analysis

With Sean Reid-Foley (shoulder) headed for the injured list, Young will return to New York in order to make up for the loss in New York's bullpen. The 30-year-old lefty has given up one run in nine innings over his previous stints in the majors this season and will likely operate in middle relief while with the Mets.
