Young (elbow) has struck out two batters and allowed no hits and one walk over two innings across his first two appearances for the Nationals' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate since signing a minor-league deal with Washington on May 14.
Young is back to full health again after he missed all of last season while recovering from elbow surgery, which he underwent in March of 2025. The Nationals are having the veteran southpaw knock off some rust in the FCL, but it shouldn't be long before he eventually settles into the bullpen at Triple-A Rochester. The 32-year-old Young owns a 4.34 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 277.2 innings over parts of six career seasons in the majors.
