News
	Washington Nationals manager Blake Butera said Jacob Young was unavailable for Sunday's 5-3 loss to the New York Yankees due to a sore left hand. Nicholas Rodriguez Sun, Jul 12th	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
	Jacob Young went 1-for-4 in a loss to the Yankees with one stolen base. Jesse Garcia Sat, Jul 11th	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
	Jacob Young is in the Nationals lineup on Monday against the Astros. Ari Koslow Mon, Jul 6th	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

Ari Koslow Sat, Jul 4th	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
	Jacob Young went 1-for-3 in loss to the Phillies with two RBI and one stolen base. Jesse Garcia Fri, Jun 26th	Jared Young was activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Diego Sandoval Tue, May 26th
