Nationals' Jacob Young: Hand remains bothersome
Manager Blake Butera said Young was unavailable for Sunday's game against the Yankees since his left hand remains sore, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Young missed some time in early July due to the injury, and he apparently never fully recovered from the issue despite making a couple of recent starts. Butera indicated the outfielder will likely need another 4-to-5 days to get back to full strength, so he could be ready to go Friday against the A's when the Nationals begin the second half of the season.

Nationals' Jacob Young: Appears headed for part-time role
Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
On the bench for the second straight day and for the third time in the last five games, Young looks to be slipped into a part-time role, having provided a middling .224/.275/.369 slash line over 288 plate appearances on the season. Dylan Crews will shift over to cover Young's usual position in center field, while the freshly recalled Abimelec Ortiz replaces Young in the lineup as the designated hitter while batting third in his MLB debut.

Nationals' Jacob Young: Checking back into lineup
Young (hand) will start in center field and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Astros.
He'll make his return to the starting lineup after a sore left hand kept him on the bench for all three games of the Nationals' series versus the Pirates over the weekend. Before getting hurt, Young had been in the midst of an extended rough patch at the plate; he slashed just .154/.214/.231 with two stolen bases, three RBI and two runs over a 13-game stretch dating back to June 15.

Young (side) will start in center field and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Phillies.
Young will check back into the starting nine after a one-game absence due to right side discomfort, an injury he picked up after colliding with the outfield wall while making a catch Saturday. The 26-year-old has provided three stolen bases through 14 games this month, but he's offered little production in the other four major rotisserie categories (.213 average, one home run, six runs and three RBI).

Nationals' Jacob Young: Bangs out two doubles in rout
Young went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Mariners.
The 26-year-old center fielder continues to flash some new-found power. Over 12 games in June, Young is slashing .265/.265/.529 with five of his nine hits (two doubles, two triples and a homer) going for extra bases. Young's 37.1 percent hard-hit rate, 6.9 percent barrel rate and 89.3 mph average exit velocity on the year would all be career highs, and his 12.0 degree launch angle is a huge improvement on the 4.0 and 3.8 degree marks he produced the prior two seasons.

Nationals' Jacob Young: Pops eighth homer
Young went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Marlins.
The center fielder took Sandy Alcantara deep in the second inning to give the Nationals an early 2-1 lead, but the bullpen wasn't able to make it stick in an eventual 7-3 loss. Known for his speed and defensive prowess as opposed to his slugging coming into 2026, Young is up to eight homers on the season, and five of them have come in his last 16 games -- a stretch in which he's slashing a stunning .308/.386/.718 with two steals, seven runs and 10 RBI over 44 plate appearances.
