News
	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.

Ari Koslow Mon, Jul 20th
	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	The Orioles optioned OF Johnathan Rodriguez to Triple-A Norfolk. Ari Koslow Fri, Apr 24th

Bruno Mulé Tue, Jun 2nd	The Orioles recalled OF Johnathan Rodriguez from Triple-A Norfolk. Ari Koslow Sun, Apr 12th
