Jared Young - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sits versus lefty Young isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against Boston.

Impact With left-hander James Paxton starting on the mound Saturday for the Red Sox, the lefty-hitting Young will stay put in Chicago's dugout to begin the game. Trey Mancini will fill in at first base and bat fifth.

Starting Sunday Young is starting at first base and batting seventh in Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Young sat out the last two games but will return to the lineup Sunday to face Domingo German. Young has been slumping, going just 1-for-17 over his last six appearances, so he could fall out of favor at first with Trey Mancini taking on a larger role. Mancini is on the bench Sunday, however.

Remains on bench Young will sit for the second straight game Saturday against the Yankees.

Impact Young immediately stepped into the large side of a platoon with Trey Mancini at first base after getting called up in late June, but his off day here comes against a righty in Gerrit Cole. Young has gone 1-for-17 at the plate in his last six games after going 4-for-9 with three extra-base hits in his first three appearances, so he could continue to cede time to Mancini going forward.

Breather Friday Young is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Yankees.

Impact Young will take a seat as the Cubs face off with left-hander Carlos Rodon on Friday. Righty bat Trey Mancini will replace him at first base and bat sixth in the series opener with New York.

JULY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Another start at first base Young is starting at first base and batting eight Friday versus the Guardians.

Impact With Cody Bellinger back in center field, Young has now made two straight starts at first base and three straight overall. The 27-year-old has a homer and a triple in his first two contests with the big club in 2023 following a 1.030 OPS and 13 dingers at Triple-A Iowa. The left-handed hitting Young could be the preferred option at first base versus righties for the time being, with Trey Mancini playing there against lefties.

Hits first MLB home run Young went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.

Impact Young started at DH and was eventually lifted for a pinch hitter, but not before he connected for his first MLB home run in the third inning against Aaron Nola. Young appeared in six games for the Cubs last season and Wednesday marked his 2023 debut. The 27-year-old looks mostly like organizational depth, though Chicago could give him some extended run at first base and DH if he's able to produce.

Selected from Iowa The Cubs selected Young from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Young has been outstanding in Triple-A this season, slashing .333/.431/.619 with 13 homers and 45 RBI through 205 plate appearances. He's recorded a hit in all but three of his games since the start of June and will now look to carry his momentum into the majors. With the Cubs searching for answers at first base, it's possible Young sees a good amount of playing time early on.

Outrighted to Triple-A Young cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Tim Stebbins of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Young appeared in just six games for the Cubs at the tail-end of last season, recording five hits and three walks over 22 plate appearances. Most of his time was spent in Triple-A, where he slashed .228/.309/.415 over 455 plate appearances. Whether or not he will return to the Cubs' 40-man roster will likely depend on if he can improve on those numbers in 2023.

Optioned to Triple-A Young was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact After getting called up earlier this month, Young will return to the minors as Willson Contreras (ankle) and Seiya Suzuki (paternity) return to the active roster. Young went 5-for-19 at the plate and put up a respectable .732 OPS during his short time in Chicago.

Steals first MLB base Young went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Marlins.

Impact Getting the start as the designated hitter and batting seventh in his fourth career appearance in the majors, Young swiped his first bag after stealing only three in 108 games at Triple-A Iowa this year. The 27-year-old doesn't have any kind of prospect pedigree after being a 15th-round pick in 2017, but it appears as though the rebuilding Cubs will give him consistent playing time against right-handed pitching over the final days of the season.
