	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.

	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 Atlanta Braves placed Mike Yastrzemski on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to left elbow inflammation. Nicholas Rodriguez Sat, Jul 11th

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	Mike Yastrzemski went 1-for-3 with a grand slam, two walks, and two runs scored in Thursday's 10-5 win over the Pirates. Nate Miller - FantasyPros Thu, Jul 9th
