EDGE Analysis

Young had been jockeying for playing time in center field with Dylan Crews about a week ago, but the Nationals have since opened up regular roles in the outfield for both players.

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

EDGE Analysis

Young will head to the bench for the second time in three games while Dylan Crews receives the starting nod in center field. Though Young (.700 OPS) has handily outproduced Crews (.290 OPS) this season, the Nationals have more of an investment in Crews -- the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft -- and are likely to keep him involved in at least a part-time role while he's up with the big club. Young thus looks like he could be stuck in a timeshare with Crews unless the Nationals choose to option the latter player to Triple-A Rochester if he continues to flounder at the plate.
