Role against righties fading Young is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact It's the second straight game and sixth time over the last seven contests that the right-handed-hitting Young has been out of the lineup versus a righty. He had a minor hand injury for the first part of that stretch, but Young no longer looks to be the top option in center field for the Nationals. It will be Dylan Crews patrolling center field Monday, and Jose Tena will be in the lineup at designated hitter.

Impact Young stung a solo homer in the sixth inning to give Washington a lead it wouldn't relinquish.

Logs pair of steals Young went 1-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch and two stolen bases in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.

Impact Young has logged three steals over his last three games. He continues to fill a part-time role in the Nationals' outfield, though he has gone 6-for-20 (.300) at the plate over his seven games in July. Overall, he's batting .225 with a .654 OPS, eight home runs, 11 steals, 32 RBI and 36 runs scored over 298 plate appearances.

JULY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Idle Saturday Young isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Impact Young will retreat to the dugout Saturday after going 1-for-4 with two walks, an RBI and two runs scored during Friday's blowout victory. Daylen Lile, Dylan Crews and James Wood will start across the outfield while Young sits.

JULY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Friday Young (hand) will start in center field and bat eighth Friday against the Athletics.

Impact Young has missed five of the Nationals' 10 games since the beginning of July due to a left hand injury, but he appears to be feeling better after getting four days off to heal during the All-Star break. The 26-year-old outfielder has gone 4-for-13 with three walks, an RBI, two runs and a steal this month when healthy, and he'll aim to remain hot to begin the second half.

JULY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Hand remains bothersome Manager Blake Butera said Young was unavailable for Sunday's game against the Yankees since his left hand remains sore, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Impact Young missed some time in early July due to the injury, and he apparently never fully recovered from the issue despite making a couple recent starts. Butera indicated the outfielder will likely need another 4-to-5 days to get back to full strength, so he could be ready to go Friday against the A's when the Nationals begin the second half of the season.

JULY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Appears headed for part-time role Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Impact On the bench for the second straight day and for the third time in the last five games, Young looks to be slipped into more of a part-time role in the Washington outfield while he's provided a middling .224/.275/.369 slash line over 288 plate appearances on the season. Dylan Crews will shift over from a corner spot to cover Young's usual position in center field, while the freshly recalled Abimelec Ortiz replaces Young in the lineup, occupying the designated-hitter spot and batting third in his MLB debut.

JULY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from lineup Young isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Young went 1-for-4 with a stolen base during Friday's loss and will now retreat to the dugout to begin Saturday's events. Daylen Lile, Dylan Crews and James Wood will start across the outfield with Young on the bench.
