Description: A's outfielder Chris Young (quad) is expected to go on a rehab assignment at some point over the next three days, according to John Hickey of the Bay Area News Group. | Insight: With Coco Crisp (hamstring) also on the DL, Young's injury prevented him from being the everyday center fielder. He's likely to return ahead of Crisp, but Crisp won't be too far behind. | | |

Description: The Athletics have placed Chris Young on the DL with a strained left quad. | Insight: The injury has come at an inopportune time for Young since center fielder Coco Crisp (hamstring) is also on the DL. Young is hiting .172 with four homers, 15 RBI, 12 runs and five steals in 87 at-bats this season. | | |

Description: A's right fielder Chris Young is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the LA Angels with a strained right quad. | Insight: Young (.172, 4 HR, 15 RBI) would be the obvious replacement should Coco Crisp's injury force him to the sidelines. If both Young and Crisp are sidelined, Seth Smith will likely be the third outfielder with Josh Reddick and Yoenis Cespedes. | | |
| 4/24/2013 8:00:00 PM |
Description: A's right fielder Chris Young swatted a pair of homers Wednesday in a loss to Boston. | Insight: Young (.174, 4 HR, 14 RBI) wasn't expected to have a starting job this season but an injury to Yoenis Cespedes has allowed him to see regular at bats. He had been in an 0-for-14 drought prior to Wednesday's series finale. | | |
| Cold | 4/17/2013 9:29:00 AM |
Description: Oakland outfielder Chris Young isn't likely to be in Wednesday's A's lineup as he's hitless in eight at-bats against Houston starter Bud Norris with three strikeouts. | Insight: With Yoenis Cespedes and Coco Crisp sidelined, Young has been playing every game, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's been an asset to fantasy owners - .188 batting average. Avoid. | | |
| Cold | 4/14/2013 1:30:00 PM |
Description: Oakland outfielder Chris Young shouldn't be your first choice in fantasy Sunday against the Tigers. He's only managed one hit in 10 career meetings with Detroit starter Anibal Sanchez. | Insight: With Yoenis Cespedes and Coco Crisp both injured, Young should see plenty of action over the next few weeks. That doesn't necessarily mean he'll be an asset to fantasy owners (.194 AVG in 36 at bats this season). | | |
| 4/2/2013 7:24:00 PM |
Description: Oakland Athletics outfielder Chris Young says manager Bob Melvin told him he'll get his first start with the team Wednesday, according to Jane Lee of MLB.com. | Insight: Young wasn't in the starting lineup Monday or Tuesday. The Athletics have three everyday outfielders in Yoenis Cespedes (LF), Coco Crisp (CF) and Josh Reddick (RF), so it could be difficult for Young to accrue the necessary at-bats to be a reliable fantasy option. | | |
| 2/26/2013 4:08:00 PM |
Description: Oakland Athletics outfielder Chris Young is dealing with a quad injury and will miss Tuesday's action. | Insight: Young only managed 325 at-bats last season due to injuries, so it's not good that he'a already nicked up. He hit 14 HR with 41 RBI while batting .231 last season for Arizona. In the spacious Oakland ballpark things could get tougher for the outfielder who has never posted an .800 OPS in his seven-year career. | | |
| 10/20/2012 6:09:00 PM |
Description: The Diamondbacks have traded outfielder Chris Young to the Oakland Athletics for Cliff Pennington and Yordy Cabrera, the latter of which was traded to the Miami Marlins for reliever Heath Bell. | Insight: Perhaps a change of scenery will help Young but we aren't optimistic. Chase Field is one of the best offensive parks in baseball while the O.co Coliseum heavily favors pitchers. | | |
| 9/7/2012 9:25:00 PM |
Description: Arizona outfielder Chris Young is still struggling with an injured quadriceps and will miss Friday's tilt against San Diego. | Insight: Young has been out of the lineup since Monday. Adam Eaton (.364, 0 HR, 0 RBI) will take Young's place in center field Friday versus the Padres. | | |
| 8/30/2012 1:57:00 PM |
Description: Thursday is not the day to start Diamondbacks outfielder Chris Young. He's hitting a dismal .192 in 26 at bats versus Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw. | Insight: Young, who is now homerless in his last 10 games, has been a disappointment this year, hitting just .223 with 36 RBI in 296 at bats. | | |
| 8/26/2012 3:01:00 PM |
Description: Sunday doesn't look like a good day to start Diamondbacks outfielder Chris Young. He comes into today's action with an horrendous .083 lifetime batting average versus San Diego starter Edinson Volquez. | Insight: Despite his poor track record against Volquez, the Arizona center fielder is in the lineup and batting sixth. | | |
| 8/21/2012 10:44:00 AM |
Description: Diamondbacks center fielder Chris Young is just 1-for-15 (.067) in his career against Miami hurler Rivky Nolasco. | Insight: Young did almost nothing for fantasy owners before the All-Star break, but since that point is batting .269 with five home runs, 16 RBI and an .896 OPS. However, this is not a favorable matchup. | | |
| 8/18/2012 10:11:00 PM |
Description: Diamondbacks center fielder Chris Young had four hits, a homer and three RBIs Saturday against the Astros. | Insight: Young's season was derailed by a shoulder injury in April and he has never fully recovered at the plate from his extended time off. Even with the 4-for-5 night, the outfielder is still hitting just .223 with 13 homers. | | |
| 8/1/2012 2:30:00 PM |
Description: Diamondbacks center fielder Chris Young is getting the day off Wednesday against Los Angeles. | Insight: Young's tenure as an everyday player in Arizona appears to be over as this is the fourth time in the last seven games that manager Kirk Gibson has started Gerardo Parra (.290, 6 HRs, 30 RBIs) in center field instead of Young. With Justin Upton (.269, 8 HRs, 44 RBIs) in right and Jason Kubel (.290, 11 HRs, 72 RBIs) in left, it's going to be hard for Young (.218, 11 HRs, 29 RBIs) to get consistent at bats unless somebody gets hurt. | | |
| 7/30/2012 10:03:00 PM |
Description: Arizona outfielder Chris Young won't be on the field for Monday's series opener in Los Angeles. | Insight: Young (.219, 11 HRs, 29 RBIs) is hitting only .133 in 15 at bats against the Dodgers this season. | | |
| 7/30/2012 4:53:00 PM |
Description: Diamondbacks outfielder Chris Young has six hits, including three homers, in 19 at-bats against Dodgers starter Aaron Harang. | Insight: Young is batting .279 with three longballs, 10 RBIs and a 10/9 K/BB ratio in 14 games since the All-Star break. With a .316 average against Harang, Young is a good play Monday. | | |
