Availability
Since coming off the injured list on May 26, Young has gone 12-for-46 with a .911 OPS while playing nearly every day at first base. He tied the game 4-4 with an RBI single in the fifth inning Thursday before the Mets held on for the win.
Fantasy Impact
Young had extended New York's lead to 3-1 with his fourth homer of the season off Hunter Dobbins in the first inning, finishing 2-for-4 with two RBI in the 5-4 victory over St. Louis.
Young is batting .313 with a .945 OPS across 55 plate appearances this season and is expected to continue receiving steady starts against right-handed pitching. All three of his home runs have come over his last six games, a stretch that also includes three multi-hit efforts.
Fantasy Impact
Young finished 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday's 5-0 win over San Diego.
Jorge Polanco (Achilles) could return from the injured list as soon as this week, which would cut into Young's time at first base and DH against right-handed pitching. Since returning from the IL himself on May 26 following left knee surgery, Young has gone 4-for-16 with two home runs, five runs, and three walks across six appearances.
Fantasy Impact
He opened the scoring Monday with a 424-foot solo shot off Emerson Hancock in the fifth inning, finishing 1-for-3 in the 3-2 loss to Seattle.
Young is slashing .345/.412/.517 with three extra-base hits, three RBI, and six runs scored across 34 plate appearances and is expected to see regular time against right-handed pitching. He was activated from the injured list Tuesday and has gone 3-for-9 with four runs scored since returning.
Fantasy Impact
Saturday marked his first home run of the season, a solo shot in the sixth inning. Young also singled and scored in the fourth, finishing 2-for-4 with two runs scored in the 6-1 win over Miami.
Jared Young was activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Young has been out since early April with a left knee meniscus tear, but he will now make his return to the big-league roster. The 30-year-old has seven hits in 20 at-bats this season. Nick Morabito was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
