	Jake Bauers went 2-for-3 in a win over the Rockies with three runs scored, one stolen base, and one walk. Chris Schommer Sun, Jul 26th	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
	Jake Bauers went 0-for-2 in Saturday's loss to the Pirates with two walks and one stolen base. Chris Schommer 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
	Jake Bauers went 1-for-3 in a loss to the Pirates with a two-run home run and one walk. Chris Schommer Sat, Jul 11th	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
