Tosses quality start, earns win
Young (3-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Marlins after allowing three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five across six innings.
Analysis
Young did just enough to record his first quality start of the season, but most important, he delivered a bounce-back performance after allowing 10 runs (four earned) in four frames against the Astros the last time out. This was also the first time Young pitched at least six innings in an outing, but the overall results have been far from attractive -- he has allowed at least three earned runs in each of his past three starts. Young will carry a 4.35 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 14:8 K:BB into his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for next week against the Yankees.

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
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.
