Reds manager David Bell said Wednesday that he anticipates Young (back) being sidelined until late May, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Young is dealing with a low back disc degeneration, an injury he came into spring training with. He then suffered a setback with the injury in mid-March. It's unclear whether the left-hander has begun a throwing program yet. Young will occupy a lefty relief role for the Reds once he's ready.
