Availability
Young went 1-for-4 in a win over the Cubs with a home run, one run scored, two RBI and one strikeout.
Fantasy Impact
Young is already have way to his 2025 home run total in just his first game of the season. The 26-year-old will continue to look to provide production for the Nationals at the bottom of the lineup to open the season and could be a solid waiver wire add if he can continue to increase his power numbers.
Nationals outfielder Jacob Young (wrist) returned to the starting lineup on Monday for the first time since Feb. 27.
Fantasy Impact
Young said he is feeling good and has been pain-free in his wrist for the last week. Manager Drew Butera said they have been slow-playing Young to be safe, and he is expected to be ready to go for Opening Day. The 26-year-old hit .231 with two homers, 15 stolen bases, and a .583 OPS across 120 games last season.
Young (wrist) has appeared in only one Grapefruit League game this spring due to a right wrist contusion. Washington considers him day-to-day and prioritizes full recovery of the wrist before Opening Day.
Fantasy Impact
Swinging a bat resumed on Tuesday, marking progress in his return from the contusion. The timeline for his clearance to participate in games has not been established.
Jacob Young has not resumed hitting.
Fantasy Impact
Young has seen just two at-bats this spring. He does not have a timetable to resume swinging.
Jacob Young is considered day-to-day with right wrist soreness.
Fantasy Impact
Young had been hit by a pitch earlier this week. It doesn't appear to be a serious concern for him. There should be an update on his status in the next week.
