Young isn't in the lineup Saturday in Cleveland, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports. Young will sit for the first time since Aug. 8, a span in which he mustered a .190 average (4-for-21), one homer, three RBI, and three runs. In his place, Nelson Cruz will take on DH duties, while David Lough covers left field.

Young isn't in the lineup Wednesday in Toronto, Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports. The Blue Jays are trotting out a right-hander in Drew Hutchison, which is generally cause for Young to hit the pine, even after notching hits in back-to-back games. In his place, Nelson Cruz will handle DH duties, while David Lough mans left field.

Young was the cleanup hitter Tuesday when he went 2-for-3 with two walks and an RBI against the Blue Jays. Young entered the game with good career numbers against Blue Jays starter Mark Buehrle. In addition, the Orioles dropped the slumping Chris Davis to seventh in the order. This could mean that when Young is in the lineup he will hit fourth or fifth, depending on where Nelson Cruz is slotted. On another note, Young had just one walk since May 27 and he now has a total of six walks on the season. While he will probably never develop plate discipline, Young clearly seems to have control of the plate against Buehrle.

Young is out of the lineup Monday at Washington, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.

Young went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Sunday's win over the Mariners. He was starting for the fourth consecutive game.

Delmon Young went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Thursday's 4-0 triumph over the Mariners. The obituary of Young's career has been written more than once, but as Twain once wrote, the reports of his demise were greatly exaggerated. Signed to a minor league deal over the winter, Young needed a Nolan Reimold injury to even make the Opening Day roster. Baltimore hasn't overexposed him, but don't think Young's damage is being done only against left-handers. In reality, he has a shocking .830 OPS against righties (tonight's homer came off right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma) and a terrible .265 OBP and .673 OPS against southpaws. He'll remain a riddle until his retirement is official. Overall, Young is slashing a healthy .317/.344/.455 over 123 at-bats.

Delmon Young went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Blue Jays. The homer, off of Mark Buehrle, was Young's second of the season and his first since April 8. Over 92 plate appearances, Young has a .295/.326/.409 slash line with nine RBI.

Getting another start after his big day Tuesday, Delmon Young went 3-for-5 with a double on Thursday. Young was supposed to play against lefties, but after going 3-for-6 with a homer yesterday, he got the call again versus Masahiro Tanaka and capitalized. He's hit second each of the last two days. Prior to Tuesday, he hadn't occupied that spot in the lineup since one game in 2008.

Delmon Young went 3-for-6 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored in Tuesday's 14-5 beatdown of the Yankees. The Orioles pounded out 20 hits on the day and eight out of the nine hitters in the lineup had at least two hits. Young delivered an RBI single in the top of the fourth inning and a two-run blast -- his first home run of the season -- in the sixth. We're not expecting much from Young for fantasy purposes this year, but he could still be useful in a part-time role against left-handed pitching.

Delmon Young had a lousy day as the Orioles' designated hitter Monday, going 0-fo-r3 with a strikeout. Young hacked away against Jon Lester and looked awful doing so. He grounded into a double play his first time up, and he went down swinging in his last at-bat. He'll probably find himself on the bench in favor of David Lough on Wednesday.
