Settles in for win
PBaltimore Orioles
July 5, 2026
Young (7-2) earned the win against the Reds on Saturday, allowing four runs on eight hits and three walks with five strikeouts over five innings.
Analysis
Young allowed four runs through the first two innings but finished with three scoreless frames and benefited from an eight-run outburst from the Orioles. While he was able to log at least five frames for the eighth straight outing, Saturday marked just the second time in 14 contests this season the 27-year-old yielded more than three earned runs. He owns a 3.38 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 62:30 K:BB across 77.1 innings overall and will take on the Royals at home in his final start before the All-Star break.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Young missed most of 2022 and 2023 rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. His 93-mph fastball isn't dominating, but it's effective as part of a five-pitch arsenal including a cutter, change-up, curveball and a show-me slider. Individually, none grade as a plus-offering, but Young exhibits solid control and command, so together he punched out 132 with a reasonable 37 walks with just eight homers allowed in 111 innings last season. He started 24 of 27 combined appearances in Double- and Triple-A, though the Orioles restricted his pitch count until August. Young profiles as a back-end-of-the-rotation innings eater. The Orioles added him to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft, but that could also facilitate calling him up when a spot starter is needed, or for a longer stretch as an injury replacement. His stuff may not play as well against major league hitters, so he's a speculative stash.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Out of mix for Wednesday
PBaltimore Orioles
August 20, 2024
Young isn't a candidate to start Wednesday against the Mets since he pitched for Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, reports Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com.
Analysis
The 26-year-old was recently named a candidate to step into Baltimore's rotation down the stretch by GM Mike Elias, but the right-hander's Triple-A schedule didn't line up with Zach Eflin's shoulder injury, which created the opening for Wednesday's contest. Young could still make his MLB debut later in the season, though it may require Eflin to miss more than the 15-day minimum if the Orioles are going to go through the trouble of adding Young to the 40-man roster.
