Orioles' Eric Young Jr.: Invited to camp by Orioles
Eric Young signed a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training with the Baltimore Orioles on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.The 33-year-old has received at least some big-league playing time for 10 straight seasons, though he didn't accomplish much last year in 41 games for the Angels, hitting just .202/.248/.303. He still has a bit of speed, which could be useful to deep-league owners should he find his way to regular playing time, but he doesn't offer much else, and the rebuilding Orioles will likely prefer to give at-bats to younger options.

Angels' Eric Young Jr.: Shifts over to left field
Eric Young will start in left field and bat ninth Sunday against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.Since Mike Trout (wrist) returned from the disabled list Friday, Young has shifted from center to left field and will make his third straight start at the position in the series finale. The speedy 33-year-old has been in the lineup for each of the past 12 games, slashing .244/.261/.378 with three steals over that span. Despite the poor production at the plate, Young could continue to benefit from steady at-bats down the stretch with the Los Angeles Angels lacking in quality alternatives in the outfield.

Angels' Eric Young Jr.: Hits first homer of 2018
Eric Young went 1-for-2 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's win over Detroit.The 33-year-old made his sixth consecutive start in the outfield, taking advantage of Mike Trout's wrist injury. Trout is expected to miss at least a couple more games, so Young should continue to start in center until the superstar returns to action. Deep-league owners shouldn't expect much power from the veteran despite Monday's long ball, but there is some short-term potential for stolen base opportunities (10 steals in the minors this season).
