Thu Oct 1 201512:17Young 2-3 with one RBI in Wednesday's loss to Red Sox
Young went 2-for-3 with one RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Red Sox.
Young has seen a slight dip in his playing time, but he still draws the start the most of the time against lefties, as he's sporting a .327/.395/.960 line against southpaws. He'll likely continue to serve this platoon role in the final week of the regular season and in the playoffs, however far the Yankees advance.
Tue Sep 8 201511:50Young 3-4 with two RBI in Monday's win over Orioles
Young went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's win over the Orioles.
Young continues to draw the start every time the Yankees oppose a left-handed pitcher, as he's sporting an impressive .331/.397/.600 slash line against southpaws. With his success in that platoon role, the outfielder could be valuable in daily formats whenever he's in the lineup.
Mon Sep 7 201511:44Chris Young in lineup on Sunday

With lefty Wei-Yin Chen on the mound, Young will replace Brett Gardner in the lineup and hit fifth in the order. Young has had some success against lefties this year --- he's slashing .322/.603/.988 in 121 at-bats.

Young is starting on Wednesday, batting second and playing left field against the Red Sox, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.

Young gets the start on Monday, batting second and playing left field against the Red Sox, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.
With Brett Gardner struggling and Young's proficiency against lefties, Young gets the start and is hitting in the two-hole. He's hitting for a.331/.389/.619 slash line against lefties this season.
Mon Aug 17 201518:50Young hitting just 3-24 in 12 games in August
Young is hitting just 3-for-24 in 12 games in August.
Between injuries to Carlos Beltran and Jacoby Ellsbury, Young has seen some time as a regular starter, but he's since been relegated to more of a platoon role. The 31-year-old is hitting just .185/.242/.342 against righties, but has been in the lineup every game this season with a left-handed pitcher getting the start, as he's hitting an impressive .339/.398/.635 against southpaws. Going forward, Young likely won't see too many at bats against righties, but he could be a decent option in daily leagues when the Yankees draw a lefty opponent.

Young finished 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and four runs scored in Tuesday's 13-3 win over Boston.
Young had a monster night as he reached base four out of the five times that he stepped to the plate. He scored four of the Yankees' 13 runs and hit an absolute laser over the left field fence in the seventh inning. The home run gives Young 13 on the season and a night like this should only lead to more opportunities moving forward.

Young has posted a 1.122 OPS against left-handers this season, and he will take one on Tuesday with the Yankees facing southpaw Henry Owenns. Young will man left field and hit second in the Yankees' batting order Tuesday night.

Young hit a grand slam as part of a 3-for-6 night with five RBI in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.
All three of Young's hits were extra-base hits, as he added two doubles to the homer and scored four of the Yankees' 21 runs. He continues to be dangerous against left-handed pitching, as Young owns a .371/.426/.711 slash line against them this season and figures to be in the lineup against all southpaws.
Mon Jul 27 201516:54Young will start in left field and bat second Monday against Ran...

Sun Jul 19 201511:02Young appears headed back to bench role
With Carlos Beltran (oblique) returning from the disabled list Sunday, Young appears headed back to a bench role.
Young had already seen one of his pathways to at-bats close up when Jacoby Ellsbury was activated a couple of weeks ago, and now it looks like he'll have an even more difficult time getting into the likely with Beltran healthy. Though Young has probably been an equal, if not better, performer this season, Beltran's sizable contract will probably afford him some leash as the Yankees' regular right fielder.
Sat Jul 18 201510:39Young 2-4 with 11th home run in Friday's win over Mariners
Young went 2-for-4 with his 11th home run in Friday's win over the Mariners.
Young barely missed his second home run of the night in his second at bat, settling for a double on a shot off the to of the wall. With Carlos Beltran nearing a return off the DL, Young may not see as regular playing time going forward, but the righty should still serve as a platoon option as he has a .365/.419/.694 line against southpaws.
Sat Jul 4 201510:48Young not in lineup for Saturday's game against Rays
Young is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, according to Newsday's Erik Boland.
Young went just 2-for-20 (.100) over his last five games, so manager Joe Girardi decided to give him the day off Saturday. Ramon Flores will jump into the lineup in Young's place.
Sun Jun 28 201508:52Young homered for second straight game Saturday, going 1-3 with ...
Young homered for the second straight game Saturday, going 1-for-3 with three runs scored and two RBI.
That gives Young 10 home runs on the season, to go along with a respectable .272 batting average. Jacoby Ellsbury (knee) is close to beginning a rehab assignment, but even after he returns to the lineup, Young is playing well enough to earn at least semi-regular at-bats.
Sat Jun 27 201510:44Young 3-4 with game-winning three-run homer in Friday's win over...
Young went 3-for-4 with the game-winning three-run homer in Friday's win over the Astros.
The home run was the only source of run production for the Yankees all night, but it was enough as they held on for the 3-2 victory.

Sun Jun 21 201509:17Young 3-5 with homer, two RBI and two runs Saturday against Tige...
Young went 3-for-5 with a homer, two RBI and two runs Saturday against the Tigers.
Young was terrifically productive out of the nine-hole in this one, but that's still not a fantasy-friendly batting position. However, he's spent minimal time batting ninth this year, so he could move back up toward the middle of the lineup. He's provided surprising power for the Yankees even though his batting average is lingering at .243 and his OBP is a hideous .289, but Young's playing time has become increasingly sporadic.
Sat Jun 20 201516:36Young back in lineup Saturday against Tigers
Young is back in the lineup Saturday against the Tigers.
Young was bumped from the lineup Friday for Mason Williams. For daily games formats, it's important to note that Young is batting ninth in the lineup and is facing a right handed starter in Alfredo Simon. Young is slashing just .162/.195/.311 against right handed starters on the season.
Fri Jun 12 201515:46Young out of lineup Friday
Young is out of the lineup Friday, Newsday's Erik Boland reports.
Prospect Mason Williams was recently called up, and he will likely be cutting into Young's playing time a bit going forward. Young should still get a handful of starts, but he will only be useful in deeper leagues.
Wed May 20 201511:40Young 1-5 with RBI in Tuesday's loss to Nationals
Young went 1-for-5 with an RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Nationals.
With Jacoby Ellsbury (knee) heading to the disabled list, Young figures to be in line to step in and serve as an everyday option in the outfield. The team recalled lefty Slade Heathcott to fill the roster spot, but Young figures to draw the start most nights even against right-handed pitching with Ellsbury on the shelf.
