The Angels transferred Young (hip) to the 60-day disabled list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Young was declared out for the season in early August as he will require surgery on both hips, so this was just a procedural move. It's unclear when exactly the 34-year-old will undergo the surgery, but he expects to be ready for spring training.

Young was diagnosed with labral tears in both hips, and he underwent surgery on his right hip Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Young was initially thought to be dealing a left hamstring stain, but he'll require surgery on both hips following this most recent diagnosis. He slashed .168/.252/.363 with six homers and 13 RBI through 56 games with the Angels in 2018. Young figures to be ready for the beginning of spring training.

Young was placed on the 10-day DL on Wednesday due to a left hamstring strain.

Young left Tuesday's game against the Mariners with an apparent leg injury, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Young went down awkwardly in right field charging a ball off the bat of Kyle Seager, and was unable to walk off the field under his own power. The specifics and severity of the injury remain unclear, and the 34-year-old should be considered day-to-day for the time being. Kole Calhoun took over in right field for the Angels.

Young (hamstring) is back in the lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will mark Young's first appearance since Tuesday. The 34-year-old hasn't been able to get it going this year as he's struggled to hit lefties. A career .260/.358/.464 hitter against southpaws, Young has just a .190/.261/.381 slash line with the platoon matchup in his favor this season.

Young (hamstring) was not placed on the disabled list following his injury Tuesday, but he remained out of the starting lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Young should still be considered day-to-day, but Kole Calhoun's recent surge should keep the veteran in a backup role moving forward. The 34-year-old was heating up prior to tweaking his hamstring, going 6-for-20 with three home runs over his previous six games, but his .184/.277/.378 overall line leaves much to desired without guaranteed playing time.

Young (hamstring) is set to undergo an MRI on Wednesday, Avery Yang of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Young was removed from Tuesday's 5-4 victory over Arizona after experiencing tightness in his hamstring while running out a grounder in the sixth inning. The MRI should provide more clarity regarding the extent of the setback, but even if Young avoids the disabled list, the Angels may still opt to recall another outfielder from the minor-league ranks on a short-term basis. Young had transitioned back to a reserve role Monday after Kole Calhoun was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list.

Young went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Young took right-hander Daniel Mengden deep in the third inning for his fifth home run of the season. It was his second homer in as many days, and third in his past four starts. He has gotten more playing time thanks to the absence of Kole Calhoun, but has largely struggled at the dish this season, hitting just .181/.278/.383 in 94 at-bats.
