News
	Jared Young went 2-for-4 with a home run, one run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 4-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Nicholas Rodriguez Wed, Jul 22nd	The Guardians acquired OF Blake Perkins and RHP Craig Yoho from the Guardians for C Bo Naylor and RHP Codi Heuer. Ari Koslow Sat, Aug 1st
	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. Bruno Mulé Fri, Jun 12th	The Brewers recalled OF Blake Perkins from Triple-A Nashville. Ari Koslow Sat, Jul 18th
	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. Bruno Mulé Sat, Jun 6th	Blake Perkins was optioned to Triple-A Nashville ahead of Tuesday's doubleheader. Nate Miller - FantasyPros Tue, Jul 7th
	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. Bruno Mulé Tue, Jun 2nd	Blake Perkins went 2-for-4 in Sunday's win over the Phillies with a double and a three-run home run. Chris Schommer Sun, Jun 14th
	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. Bruno Mulé Sun, May 31st	Blake Perkins went 0-for-3 in a win over the Twins with one walk and one stolen base. Chris Schommer Sun, May 17th
