Keep up with the latest injuries with our Major League Baseball injury report.Jul 19, 2023
Cut loose by Atlanta
Atlanta released Young (undisclosed) on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Young compiled a 1.08 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in eight relief appearances for Atlanta earlier this season before being optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on May 16. He was deactivated at Triple-A in late June and was later moved to the full-season injured list, though Atlanta hasn't disclosed the nature of his injury. Since he wasn't due to pitch again in 2023, Atlanta opted to release Young in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Seth Elledge, whose contract was selected from Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Goes on full-season IL
Triple-A Gwinnett transferred Young from the 7-day injured list to the full-season IL on Friday due to an unspecified injury.
ANALYSIS
Young previously logged a 1.08 ERA over eight appearances out of the Atlanta bullpen earlier this season, but he hadn't pitched with the big club since May 15 after being optioned to Gwinnett. The left-hander proceeded to make 13 appearances for Gwinnett before being deactivated July 1 with an injury that will end his season. Young still possesses a spot on Atlanta's 40-man roster, but he could be recalled and transferred to the big club's 60-day IL when room on the roster needed.

Optioned to Triple-A
Young was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Young has been excellent with the big club this season, holding a 1.08 ERA and 11:2 K:BB over 8.1 frames. He's got options remaining, though, and will clear out to make room for Tuesday's starter, Jared Shuster.
May 9, 2023
Recalled from Triple-A
Young was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Young has allowed just one run on three hits and no walks while fanning six over 3.2 frames with the big club this season. He'll provide Atlanta with another left-handed relief option.
May 1, 2023
Back to Triple-A
Young returned to Triple-A Gwinnett following Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Mets.
ANALYSIS
Young wasn't called on during the second half of the twin bill and will now head back to the minors after serving as Atlanta's 27th man. He's made four major-league appearances so far this season, allowing one run on three hits and no walks while fanning six over 3.2 frames.
May 1, 2023
Joins big club as 27th man
Atlanta recalled Young from Triple-A Gwinnett ahead of the second game of Monday's doubleheader with the Mets.
ANALYSIS
Young will give the Atlanta bullpen a fresh arm for the second leg of the twin bill, a welcome development after the team required five relievers to cover the final four innings of a 9-8 win in Game 1. The 28-year-old lefty has previously made four appearances for Atlanta this season, giving up an earned run on three hits and no walks while striking out six over 3.2 innings.
Apr 29, 2023
Optioned back to Triple-A
Young was optioned Saturday to Triple-A Gwinnett.
ANALYSIS
Joe Jimenez is back from paternity leave ahead of Saturday's game against the Mets. Young drew only one appearance during his short stay in Atlanta's bullpen.
Apr 26, 2023
Back with big club
Atlanta recalled Young from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Even though Atlanta optioned Young to Triple-A on Tuesday, he'll be eligible to rejoin the big club one day later because reliever Joe Jimenez (personal) was placed on the paternity list Wednesday in a corresponding move. The 28-year-old southpaw pitched well over his four prior relief appearances for Atlanta, striking out six while allowing one earned run on three hits across 3.1 innings.
Apr 25, 2023
Optioned to Triple-A
Young was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Young is clearing out to make room for Collin McHugh's return from the injured list. The left-hander has pitched well with the big club this season and surely will get another opportunity down the line.
Apr 8, 2023
Joins big-league club
Young had his contract selected by Atlanta on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Young was unable to grab a spot on Atlanta's Opening Day roster but has earned an early-season promotion. The left-hander made his big-league debut last season with three appearances between Atlanta and Seattle, and he gave up three earned runs on 11 hits with six strikeouts and two walks in 6.1 frames.
Mar 20, 2023
Reassigned to minor-league camp
Young was reassigned to minor-league camp by Atlanta on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Young was outrighted off the 40-man roster and stayed in the Atlanta organization after clearing waivers in August, and the left-hander will provide Triple-A Gwinnett some innings out of the bullpen. Atlanta would have to add Young to the 40-man roster again in order for him to contribute in the majors.
Aug 18, 2022
Remains in organization
Young cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Young was designated for assignment by Atlanta earlier this week, but he'll stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 28-year-old has spent most of the year at the Triple-A level this year and has a 3.86 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 40:9 K:BB across 28 innings.
Aug 16, 2022
Exits 40-man roster
Atlanta designated Young for assignment Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The club had already optioned Young to Triple-A Gwinnett following their 13-1 win over the Mets on Monday, when the lefty came on in relief to toss 2.2 scoreless innings. Young will now lose his spot on the 40-man roster entirely, as Atlanta needed to clear a spot for utility infielder Ryan Goins, whose contract was purchased from Gwinnett.
Aug 15, 2022
Called up Monday
Young was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After being claimed off waivers by Atlanta on Aug. 6, Young will join their big-league roster ahead of their four-game series with the Mets. The left-hander has produced a 3.64 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with 44 punchouts over 29.2 innings in Triple-A this season. Brice Elder was optioned to Gwinnett in a corresponding move.
Aug 6, 2022
Claimed by Atlanta
Young was claimed off waivers by Atlanta on Saturday and optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett.
ANALYSIS
Young made his big-league debut in mid-July, allowing three runs in 3.2 innings across a pair of relief appearances. The 28-year-old lefty has spent the bulk of the year with Triple-A Tacoma, where he owns a 3.86 ERA and a 33.9 percent strikeout rate in 28 innings of work.
Aug 1, 2022
Cast off 40-man roster
Seattle designated Young for assignment Monday.
ANALYSIS
Young will move off the Mariners' 40-man roster to clear a spot for outfielder Travis Jankowski, who was claimed off waivers from the Mets. Over his two relief appearances with Seattle on the season, Young covered 3.2 innings and surrendered three earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five.
Jul 19, 2022
Returns to minors
Young appeared out of the bullpen for Triple-A Tacoma in two of the club's final three games before the All-Star break, striking out four while allowing three baserunners over two scoreless innings.
ANALYSIS
Young rejoined the Mariners' top affiliate for the weekend after he was optioned back to Tacoma following a doubleheader Wednesday with the Nationals. The 28-year-old lefty should rank near the top of the list for a call-up if the Mariners require an extra relief arm at any point in the second half of the season.
Jul 13, 2022
Up for doubleheader
The Mariners recalled Young from Triple-A Tacoma and designated him as their 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader in Washington.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old will give Seattle an extra left-handed arm out of the bullpen for the doubleheader, but he'll likely be headed back to Tacoma immediately after the twin bill. Young previously covered 3.2 innings across two appearances with Seattle this season, allowing three earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five.
May 24, 2022
Returns to minors
Young was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Young has spent most of the past three weeks in the majors but has appeared in only two games, during which he gave up three runs on seven hits with five strikeouts and two walks over 3.2 innings. The left-hander will return to Tacoam, where he has a 7.00 ERA in nine games.
May 14, 2022
Recalled by Mariners
Young was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old was sent down by Seattle on Friday, but he'll rejoin the Mariners after Erik Swanson (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Young allowed three hits and a walk while striking out three in 2.1 scoreless innings during his major-league debut against the Phillies on Monday.
May 13, 2022
Optioned to Triple-A
Young was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Young made his major-league debut Monday against the Phillies, and he struck out three in 2.1 scoreless innings. In spite of his promising debut, he'll be sent down after Sergio Romo (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.
May 10, 2022
Impressive in big-league debut
Young, just promoted from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, fired 2.1 scoreless innings during which he allowed three hits and a walk while recording three strikeouts in a loss to the Phillies on Monday.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old southpaw made his major-league debut after toiling over the last seven-plus seasons in the minors for multiple organizations. Manager Scott Servais found the perfect landing spot for Young's first encounter with big-league bats, as the 9-0 deficit the Mariners carried going into the final two innings of the game made for a textbook low-leverage situation. Given his inexperience, Young will likely be utilized in similar scenarios for the foreseeable future.
