Nationals' Jacob Young: Getting Sunday off
Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Nationals' Jacob Young: Good to go Sunday
Young (back) will start in center field and bat leadoff Sunday against the Blue Jays, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
The 24-year-old exited Friday's contest due to back spasms and didn't start Saturday, but he'll rejoin the lineup for Sunday's series finale. Young has gone just 2-for-10 over his past four games but has a .311/.354/.378 slash line with 12 steals in 81 plate appearances on the season.

Nationals' Jacob Young: Moves up to leadoff spot
Young will start in center field and bat leadoff in Friday's game versus the Blue Jays.
Young batted leadoff a few times last month, but this is the first time since April 19 that a player other than CJ Abrams has been at the top of the batting order for the Nationals. Abrams is hitting second Friday. The Nats are facing southpaw Yusei Kikuchi, and the right-handed hitting Young has a .313/.353/.375 slash line versus lefties this season.

Nationals' Jacob Young: Runs wild again Monday
Young went 1-for-4 with two runs scored and two stolen bases in Monday's 7-2 win over the Marlins.
Both pilfers came in the fifth inning, as Young stole second then teamed up with CJ Abrams on a double steal after the shortstop drew a walk. Young's 12 stolen bases on the season are third in the majors behind Elly De La Cruz (18) and Brice Turang (13), and he's slashing .328/.368/.391 through 21 games. Victor Robles (hamstring) is set to begin a rehab assignment this week as he nears his return from the IL, but Young seems to have a firm hold on the starting job in center field for the Nationals.

Nationals' Jacob Young: Steals two more bags
Young went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases during Sunday's 12-9 victory over the Marlins.
Young's three hits were a season high and represented his third consecutive multi-hit effort while he also stole two bags for the second-consecutive game. The young center fielder is up to 10 steals on the season, good for fifth in all of baseball despite accumulating only 60 at-bats and one walk. His average now stands at .375 with four doubles, seven RBI and 14 runs scored.

Nationals' Jacob Young: Steals two bases, scores four runs
Young went 2-for-4 with an RBI, four runs scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 11-4 win over the Marlins.
He had just two singles but managed to reach base in all five plate appearances, getting on via a hit-by-pitch, a fielder's choice and an error. It was the second multi-steal game this season for Young, who swiped three bags against the Giants back on April 9. Young is now a perfect 21-for-21 on stolen base attempts in 52 major-league games. The 24-year-old should continue to run wild as long as he's in the lineup, and his terrific defense in center field helps him in that regard. The rest of Young's offensive game is rather limited, however, so he doesn't have much margin for error.

Nationals' Jacob Young: Takes seat Wednesday
Young is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
Young produced three hits over the Nationals' last two games to lift his season average up to .267, but he still looks to be stuck in a part-time role in center field. He and Eddie Rosario have now drawn three starts apiece at the position over a stretch of six games.

Nationals' Jacob Young: Idle for Wednesday's game
Young is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Young will hit the bench for the series finale after he had started in center field in each of the past four games while going 5-for-14 with two doubles, two stolen bases and three runs scored. Eddie Rosario will draw the start in center field Wednesday and will be flanked in the outfield by Jesse Winker and Lane Thomas.

Nationals' Jacob Young: Nabs fifth steal
Young went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the A's.
Hitting leadoff against southpaw Alex Wood with CJ Abrams bumped down the two-hole, Young remained hot as he produced his third multi-hit game in his last four starts. While the Nationals have seen a lot of left-handed pitching lately, Young has also drawn into the lineup against righties and appears to be seizing the starting job in center field. Since his early April promotion, the 24-year-old is batting .250 (7-for-28) with two doubles, two RBI, five runs and five steals (on five attempts) in nine contests.

Nationals' Jacob Young: Swipes three bags Tuesday
Young went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and three stolen bases in Tuesday's win over the Giants.
Making his fourth straight start in center field, the 24-year-old shifted down the ninth spot in the batting order with CJ Abrams returning from a finger injury to reclaim the leadoff spot, but Young still had a huge night on the basepaths. He's gone just 3-for-18 (.167) at the plate since his promotion, but a 4-for-4 performance on steal attempts is landing him on the fantasy radar. Young was successful on 52 of 59 attempts across all levels last season, so he's capable of making an impact in that category if he gets regular playing time. The Nats have faced four straight left-handed starters, however, so it remains to be seen if manager Dave Martinez will give him consistent looks against righties as well.

Nationals' Jacob Young: Swipes first bag of season
Young went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Phillies.
Getting the start in center field and leading off against lefty Cristopher Sanchez, Young opened the bottom of the first inning with a single -- his first hit since his promotion -- and promptly swiped second base for his first big-league steal of 2024. The 24-year-old has started three of four games since getting the call to replace Victor Robles (hamstring) on the roster, but all three starts came with southpaws on the mound for the opposition. Young should still get plenty of playing time even in a short-side platoon role -- the Nats are scheduled to face Blake Snell and Kyle Harrison to kick off a home series against the Giants beginning Monday.

Nationals' Jacob Young: Getting another start at leadoff
Young will start in center field and bat leadoff Monday in San Francisco, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
It's the second straight game in center field and in the leadoff spot for Young, who reached base twice and had a steal Sunday. Both times the Nationals have been facing a lefty, and it's likely most of Young's starts will be against southpaws as long as they continue trying to play Eddie Rosario in center field. CJ Abrams' (finger) absence has allowed Young a shot at leadoff, although Abrams is considered day-to-day.
