Michael Young's fourth hit was a go-ahead single in the top of the ninth to lead the Phillies past the Cubs 6-5 on Friday. Young had three singles, a double and two RBI in the game. It was easily his best game since he went untraded at the deadline. He entered the day hitting .202/.253/.258 with no homers and five RBI in 89 at-bats this month.

Michael Young went 2-for-3 with a double against the Mets on Tuesday. Young has been getting regular starts under new manager Ryne Sandberg, and he managed two of the Phillies' three hits against Mets starter Jon Niese on Tuesday. It was his second straight game with two hits, bringing his season line to .267/.331/.383.

Michael Young hit a walk-off single to give the Phillies a 4-3, come-from-behind victory over the Rockies on Wednesday. The Phillies got to Rockies closer Rafael Betancourt for three hits and a walk, with Young's single serving as the final blow. It was his only hit of the night, as he finished 1-for-5 with the one RBI. His playing time has been greatly reduced in recent weeks with the promotion of Cody Asche -- he got the start at first base on Wednesday as a way to get him in the lineup -- making him better suited for NL-only leagues at this point.

Michael Young (heel) finished 0-for-4 with two strikeouts Tuesday in his return to the lineup. Young hadn't played since Saturday due to soreness in his left Achilles tendon. The 36-year-old reportedly cleared waivers earlier this month, so he's still a possibility to be traded. However, he has the ability to nix any deal.

Michael Young (heel) is not in Monday's lineup. Young will miss his second straight game due to a sore left Achillies. The Phillies will continue to evaluate him on a day-to-day basis.

Michael Young (heel) hopes to return Monday. Young was lifted form Saturday's game and sat out Sunday due to soreness in his left Achilles tendon. "I've dealt with it in the past before, probably the last several seasons," said the veteran infielder. "This season it's felt the best, but there have been times where it just locks up and I've got to get off it. Once I get off it, it literally feels much, much better."

Michael Young was removed from the Phillies' game against the Dodgers on Saturday with a sore left ankle. There was no immediate indication of when Young suffered the injury. He was replaced by John McDonald at third base. He's considered day-to-day for now.

Michael Young was scratched from Thursday's matinee with the Cubs due to hamstring tightness. FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported Thursday morning that Young passed through waivers, making him eligible to be traded (with his consent) to any team. But his sudden absence from the Phillies' lineup is injury-related.

Michael Young has passed through waivers and is now eligible to be traded to any major league team. But the veteran infielder has a full no-trade clause and the Phillies were unable to move him at the July 31 non-waiver deadline. Young seems likely to stay put.

The Phillies failed to find a trade partner for Michael Young at this year's July 31 deadline. The 36-year-old third baseman didn't make it easy on Philly, because he would reportedly only accept trades to Texas, Boston or the New York Yankees. Philadelphia will probably shop Young next month, though he'll have to clear waivers and actually accept a destination first.
