Young (hand) is not in the lineup Monday against the Twins, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Young is set to miss his third straight contest as he continues to nurse a hand contusion. He'll remain day-to-day for now, while Ben Revere will again draw the start in left field for him. While Young has been serviceable for the Angels', he's set to lose most of his playing time with Mike Trout (thumb) expected to return sometime around the All-Star break.

Young is nursing a hand contusion and is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mariners, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Young first hurt his hand while running into the wall during a catch in Friday's series opener and will be limited to bench duty for the second straight contest. Ben Revere is set to handle left-field duties in place of Young, but both players are expected to see their at-bats dry up after the All-Star break, if not shortly before that. Mike Trout (thumb) has resumed taking batting practice and could soon head out on a rehab assignment before rejoining the Angels, at which point the team would go with an outfield consisting of Trout, Cameron Maybin and Kole Calhoun in most contests.

Young is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Despite collecting a pair of hits in Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers, Young will head to the bench for the third time over the last six contests. The 32-year-old has held his own as the Angels' primary left fielder this month, and he should continue to see regular at-bats until Mike Trout (thumb) returns from the DL.

Young is leading off and playing center field Tuesday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
With Cameron Maybin getting the day off, Young will get a chance to show his stuff at the top of the order. The 32-year-old has been used heavily by the Angels this month, compiling a .246 average over 69 at-bats while serving as the primary left fielder. Tuesday will mark his 312th career game as the leadoff man.

Young is not in Sunday's lineup for the series finale against Boston, MLB.com's Maria I. Guardado reports.
EDGE Analysis
After going 1-for-3 with one run, one RBI and an extra-base hit Saturday, Young will hit the bench for a day off. In his place, Ben Revere takes over in left while batting sixth.

Young returned to the starting lineup Saturday, going 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and his seventh stolen base in a 6-3 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder was given the day off Friday, but he resumed his role as the Angels' starting left fielder Saturday. Young's bat has cooled off since his torrid start in the majors, but his overall production (.289/.379/.461) coupled with his dangerous speed keep him in the fantasy conversation.

Young is not in Friday's lineup for the series opener against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Young takes a seat Friday after starting the past three games in the outfield. In his place, Ben Revere will man left field and bat seventh against right-hander Rick Porcello. Young is likely to be back in the lineup Saturday.

Young is starting in left and batting ninth Wednesday against the Yankees, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Young took a seat Sunday before returning to the lineup Tuesday (0-for-4 with a run scored). He has taken over as the Angels' starting left fielder with a .303/.395/.485 slash line over 21 games. The speedy outfielder should continue to see regular at-bats until he either cools off or when Mike Trout (thumb) returns.

Young is out of the lineup Sunday against the Royals, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Young will hit the bench for the second time in the series, but since he's still maintaining a .408 on-base percentage since being promoted to the big club, his hold on an everyday role appears likely to remain fairly secure so long as Mike Trout (thumb) remains out. Ben Revere will fill in for Young in left field Sunday.

Young is not in the lineup Friday against the Royals, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Young has been a bright spot in an otherwise forgettable stretch for the Angels, although he'll hit the bench for a night off on the heels of an 0-for-3 showing. Ben Revere will pick up a start in left field in his stead.
