Young went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Mets. The steal was his 15th of the season, but where Young really shined was on defense, as he made two incredible defensive plays in center field to rob New York hitters of extra bases, including a leaping catch at the wall in the ninth inning as the Nats clung to a 3-2 lead. He's split time in center with Robert Hassell down the stretch, and through 11 games in September, Young is batting .292 (7-for-24) with two steals, three runs and four RBI.

Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs. Young made his return Saturday from a two-game absence due to back spasms and went 0-for-3 at the plate. He'll yield to Robert Hassell in center field Sunday for Washington's series finale. After serving as the everyday center fielder for most of June and July, Young and Hassell have been splitting work at the position over the last few weeks.

Young was removed from Tuesday's game against the Marlins due to back spasms. Young had gone 2-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored before his back forced him to make an early exit in the sixth inning. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but an extended absence for Young would likely force Robert Hassell into the lineup more often against left-handed pitchers.
