Regaining confidence Young went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Angels.
Impact Over four games since sliding past second base and being caught stealing Sunday against the Dodgers, Young has gone 5-for-14 at the plate and 3-for-3 on stolen-base attempts. The center fielder has had a rough first half overall that includes being thrown out on half of his 16 steal attempts across 58 contests, but the 25-year-old center fielder still boasts 94th percentile sprint speed and could make a big impact on the basepaths over the final months of the season if he doesn't lose confidence in his abilities.

Logs steal in loss Young went 2-for-3 with one RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Padres.
Impact Over his previous 24 games, Young was caught stealing on all five of his attempts, with his last successful theft being May 6 versus the Guardians. He ended that slump with a swipe in the fourth inning before coming around to score on a James Wood groundout. Young has done enough to maintain steady playing time since Robert Hassell was sent down to Triple-A Rochester on June 15. Overall, Young has a .248/.323/.297 slash line with no home runs, seven steals on 15 attempts, seven RBI, 18 runs scored, five doubles and a triple over 169 plate appearances. As a right-handed hitter, Young could be at risk of slipping back into a short-side platoon role once Dylan Crews (oblique) returns to bring the Nationals' outfield to full health.

Won't be given red light on bases Young went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a caught stealing in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.
Impact He's reclaimed the full-time job in center field, starting seven straight games while batting .286 (6-for-21), but Young is having major issues on the basepaths. He beat the throw but overslid second base and got tagged out by Mookie Betts on Sunday, and his last successful steal attempt came back on May 6 -- he's 0-for-5 over his 23 games, and on the season Young's gone a brutal 5-for-13. It's a huge blow to the fantasy value of a player that went 33-for-43 on SB attempts in 2024, but Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports that manager Dave Martinez still has confidence in Young's ability to contribute with his legs. "I want him to steal in that spot, down a run," the manager said after the game. "But I also want him to stay on the base. He had the base stolen easy. He just overslid." Young's defense should keep him in the lineup regardless, but given his lack of power and regular spot at the bottom of the order, he offers little to fantasy rosters if he isn't racking up steals.

Settling into short side of platoon Young is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
Impact Since being activated from the 10-day injured list last Friday, Young has made all three of his starts against left-handed pitchers and has been on the bench all three times that the Nationals have faced righties. Manager Dave Martinez looks as though he'll deploy Young in the short side of a platoon in center field with Robert Hassell for the foreseeable future.
