Braves' Danny Young: Inks split contract with Atlanta
Rotowire
Atlanta signed Young (elbow) to a one-year contract Tuesday.
It's a split contract for Young, who will miss at least the first half of the 2026 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The left-handed reliever holds a career 4.01 ERA and 78:25 K:BB over 60.2 innings covering parts of four major-league seasons, which includes stints in Atlanta in 2022 and 2023.

Danny Young: Officially let go by Mets
Rotowire
The Mets non-tendered Young on Friday.
Young made the Mets' Opening Day roster, but his 2025 season was cut short after undergoing Tommy John Surgery in May. If he does manage to sign with a team, he's unlikely to be healthy enough to contribute until at least the second half of the 2026 campaign.

Mets' Danny Young: To be non-tendered
Rotowire
The Mets are expected to non-tender Young (elbow), Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Young gave up four earned runs over 8.1 innings with the Mets in 2025 before undergoing Tommy John surgery in May, which will likely keep him out through the first half of the 2026 season. The 31-year-old will become a free agent once the transaction is official.

Mets' Danny Young: Set for Tommy John surgery
Rotowire
The Mets transferred Young (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
According to Will Sammon of The Athletic, Young is slated to undergo Tommy John surgery in the near future, which will end his season and likely keep him out until the second half of the 2026 campaign. By shifting him to the 60-day IL, the Mets were able to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Blade Tidwell, who was called up from Triple-A Syracuse to start the first game of Sunday's doubleheader in St. Louis. Before being shut down in late April with the elbow injury, Young had been a key piece in the New York bullpen, gathering four holds while pitching to a 4.32 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB across 8.1 innings in 10 appearances.

Mets' Danny Young: Placed on IL
Rotowire
The Mets placed Young on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a left elbow sprain.
Young has surrendered five runs (four earned) over 8.1 innings this season, but he seems to have come away from his most recent outing Saturday with an elbow injury. He'll now take at least the next couple of weeks to heal. Chris Devenski will come up from Triple-A Syracuse to give the Mets a fresh arm in the bullpen.

Mets' Danny Young: May require TJ surgery
Rotowire
Manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday that Young may need to undergo Tommy John surgery, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Young landed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a sprained left elbow, but he now may be at risk of missing the rest of the season plus a significant portion of the 2026 campaign. The Mets will know more about how to properly handle the southpaw's injury within the next few days, but he's likely facing an extended absence even if he doesn't undergo surgery.

Mets' Danny Young: Appears on track for bullpen role
Rotowire
Young will likely win a spot on the Mets' Opening Day roster, Will Sammon and Tim Britton of The Athletic report.
The 30-year-old would provide the Mets' bullpen with a second lefty behind A.J. Minter, who still isn't guaranteed to avoid a brief IL stint to begin the year after undergoing hip surgery last August. Young has a 3:0 K:BB over three Grapefruit League innings this spring, and after posting a 4.54 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 48:18 K:BB over 37.2 regular-season innings in 2024, he'll likely be ticketed for a low-leverage role.
The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Young has posted a 5.11 ERA and 16:6 K:BB over 12.1 frames this season at the big-league level. He will give manager Carlos Mendoza a second lefty in the bullpen to pair with Jake Diekman.

Mets' Danny Young: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Mets optioned Young to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
The left-hander was recalled by the Mets last weekend and made four appearances during the brief stint in the majors, allowing six runs on six hits with a 4:2 K:BB over 3.1 innings. Young has a 5.11 ERA across 13 outings with the big club this year.

Mets' Danny Young: Returning from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.
With Sean Reid-Foley (shoulder) headed for the injured list, Young will return to New York in order to make up for the loss in New York's bullpen. The 30-year-old lefty has given up one run in nine innings over his previous stints in the majors this season and will likely operate in middle relief while with the Mets.

Mets' Danny Young: Officially demoted
Rotowire
The Mets optioned Young to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.
Young was expected to be the Mets' roster casualty as a result of Edwin Diaz's (shoulder) return, and his move to Syracuse is now official. The left-hander has allowed just one run in nine innings with the Mets and also boasts a 1.59 ERA in the minors, so it's likely he rejoins New York's bullpen at some point later in the summer.

Mets' Danny Young: Likely headed to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Mets are expected to option Young to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
With Edwin Diaz (shoulder) slated to come off the injured list Thursday, Young will be pushed back to Triple-A in order to free up a roster spot. He's found quite a bit of success in the majors this season, allowing just one run in nine innings while striking out 12 batters and walking four. If he's able to sustain his strong performance in Triple-A, the 30-year-old southpaw would likely be one of the first choices to return to New York if the Mets find themselves in need of a fresh bullpen arm.

Mets' Danny Young: Nabs win in return
Rotowire
Young (2-0) picked up the win Thursday over the Diamondbacks, striking out two batters in a perfect eighth inning.
Entering the game with the score tied 2-2, Young fanned Corbin Carroll and Randal Grichuk and was rewarded when the Mets took their first and only lead of the night in the bottom of the frame. Recalled from Triple-A Syracuse earlier in the day Thursday, Young has made only three big-league appearances this season but has collected a win in two of them, and he has yet to allow an earned run in four innings with a 5:3 K:BB. Given the shambles the Mets bullpen is in, the 30-year-old southpaw could see consistent high-leverage work as long as he remains effective.

Mets' Danny Young: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.
Young will absorb the roster spot vacated by Jorge Lopez, who has been designated for assignment. The left-handed Young threw three scoreless innings with the Mets earlier this season and boasts a 1.59 ERA over 11.1 frames with Syracuse, although he's also issued 11 walks at the latter spot.

Mets' Danny Young: Returning to majors
Rotowire
The Mets will recall Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
With the Mets running low on fresh bullpen arms and Jorge Lopez slated to be DFA'd, Young will return to New York for his second big-league stint of the season. The 30-year-old southpaw threw three scoreless innings across two games with the Mets in early May, and he's posted a 1.59 ERA through 11.1 innings in the minors. Although he's had success limiting runs, Young has been known to give up a fair amount of walks, so he will presumably work in middle relief once he officially gets the call to the majors.

Mets' Danny Young: Back down to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Mets optioned Young to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.
Young was called up by the Mets on April 28. He appeared in two games, including May 2 against the Cubs when he earned his first major-league win after allowing one unearned run on two hits and a walk while striking out one batter over one frame. Young and right-hander Dedniel Nunez will head down to Triple-A Syracuse, while right-handers Christian Scott and Cole Sulser move up to the big club in corresponding moves.

Mets' Danny Young: Earns first big-league win
Rotowire
Young (1-0) earned the win in Thursday's extra-innings victory over the Cubs, allowing one unearned run on two hits and a walk. He struck out one.
Young gave up a leadoff double to Nick Madrigal in the 11th inning, allowing the free runner to score, but he'd hold the Cubs there thanks in large part to Starling Marte, who threw Madrigal out at the plate after he tried to score on a two-out single. The Mets would then walk it off in the bottom half of the frame on Francisco Lindor's two-run double. It's the first win in the majors for Young, who was also making his Mets debut. The left-hander was solid in limited action with Atlanta last season, allowing one earned run while striking out 11 in 8.1 innings. Brooks Raley (elbow) doesn't have a clear timeline for his return, so Young should have a consistent role in New York's bullpen with Jake Diekman being the team's only other left-handed option.

Mets' Danny Young: Gets call from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Mets selected Young's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
Fellow lefty reliever Josh Walker was optioned to Syracuse to open up room on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for another southpaw in Young. After failing to win a spot in the Mets' Opening Day bullpen while attending camp as a non-roster invitee, Young headed to Triple-A, where he produced a 1.08 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB across 8.1 innings before getting the call to the majors.
