Eric Young Jr. went 2-for-3 with a triple and a stolen base against the Braves on Tuesday. Young now ranks third in the National League in stolen bases with 35, and he's begun to run more in recent days -- he's now stolen six bases in the last seven games. He needs to be owned in your league.

Young had never had more than two RBI in a game in his previous 373 games in the majors, but he did it with one swing of the bat Thursday. The 28-year-old has scuffled for quite a while now as a part of the everyday lineup, but with his speed and ability to play multiple positions, he has likely carved out a place for himself as an active bench player with the Mets next season.

Eric Young Jr. went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases against the Phillies on Wednesday. The stolen bases both came off Phillies starter Cole Hamels, giving Young 31 on the year. He's especially found his base-stealing groove as the Mets' leadoff hitter, as 23 of his 31 have come since his move to the Big Apple in mid-June. The swipes have at least helped divert attention from the fact that he's hitting a paltry .208 through 96 at-bats in August.

Don't look for him to supply this sort of power very often, but his speed should have him on your radar in deeper mixed fantasy leagues.
