Newsbreakers
October 3, 2009
Delwyn Young provided most of the Pirates offense in an 8-4 loss to the Reds on Saturday. He went 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBI.
Our View:
Young has struggled mightily down the stretch, hitting just .159 in September. Saturday's three RBI were more than he accrued all of last month and the homer was his first since August 18th.
September 14, 2009
Delwyn Young is out of tonight's lineup at the Dodgers while dealing with tightness in his lower back, according to MLBblogs.com.
Our View:
He sustained the injury Sunday, and it is uncertain when Young may be fit to return to the diamond.
August 23, 2009
Delwyn Young went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles, and recorded the Pirates' lone RBI in Sunday's 4-1 loss to Cincinnati at PNC Park.
Our View:
Young is hitting .315 with 13 RBI over 73 at-bats this month, and is worth penciling into fantasy lineups while hot.
June 27, 2009
Delwyn Young was 2-for-4 with four RBI and his second home run of the season against Kansas City on Saturday.
Our View:
Young has been very good in limited time since coming to Pittsburgh this season. Given how ineffective Brandon Moss has been this season, you have to believe that Young will start to get more at-bats. He's a guy to keep an eye on if he can win the right field job outright.
June 11, 2009
Delwyn Young's home run in the fifth inning on Thursday was his first of the season and the only run surrendered by Braves starter Javier Vazquez in eight innings.
Our View:
Light-hitting Delwyn Young has out performed another more heralded D. Young in 2009, Minnesota's former overall number one pick Delmon Young, hitting .333 in 72 at-bats with one home run and 11 RBIs.
May 17, 2009
Delwyn Young started in right field and hit leadoff in place of Nyjer Morgan in Sunday's 11-4 win over Colorado. He finished the game 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI, and two runs scored.
Our View:
Young's batting average is up to .355 and he has two hits in each of his last three starts. As long as he remains the team's fourth outfielder, his fantasy value is minimal.
May 6, 2009
Delwyn Young will start for the first time in 2009 and hit fifth in the Pirates order on Wednesday. He is taking the place of Brandon Moss.
Our View:
Young is 4-for-9 on the season in nine pinch-hitting appearances. He does not figure to be an everyday option and should not be considered just yet for fantasy purposes.
April 15, 2009
The Dodgers dealt Delwyn Young to the Pirates in exchange for two players to be named later, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Our View:
Young was once a top prospect in the Dodgers' organization, but was never able to nail down a spot in their crowded outfield. There is currently no room for him in Pittsburgh either, and he does not merit fantasy attention for now.
April 13, 2009
According to MLB.com, the Dodgers have designated Delwyn Young for assignment, opening up a much needed spot on the 40-man roster.
Our View:
This move was expected as the Dodgers needed a spot on the 40-man for Juan Castro. Young has been in Triple-A Albuquerque rehabbing after offseason elbow surgery.
April 11, 2009
Delwyn Young will start a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque Saturday, according to the LA Times. Young is on the DL because of elbow problems.
Our View:
Young will be the DH in the first game and should play the outfield shortly thereafter. It's unclear whether or not he will be called up once he's healthy.
April 6, 2009
MLB.com reports that Delwyn Young has been placed on the 15-day DL with elbow soreness.
Our View:
Even if healthy, there's not a lot of playing time available for Young on the Dodgers roster. He had elbow surgery in the offseason, and he will likely need more than 15 days before he is ready to return.
