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	Tyler Locklear went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in the Diamondbacks 10-6 win over the Cardinals on Thursday. Ari Koslow Fri, Jul 24th
	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	Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Tyler Locklear will start at first base on Sunday. 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	The Arizona Diamondbacks are expected to promote Tyler Locklear to the major league roster ahead of Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Nicholas Rodriguez Thu, Jul 16th
	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	The Diamondbacks activated Tyler Locklear from the injured list and optioned him to Triple-A. Ari Koslow Fri, May 8th
	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	Tyler Locklear has had his rehab assignment moved up to Triple-A. Ari Koslow Thu, May 7th
