Goes deep in win
Young went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-0 win over the Padres.
Analysis
Young has three homers this season, and they've all come over his last six games. He also has a trio of multi-hit efforts in that span. The 30-year-old is batting .313 with a .945 OPS, six RBI, eight runs scored, three doubles and no stolen bases across 55 plate appearances. Young should continue to get steady playing time versus right-handed pitchers.

Clubs homer in loss
Young went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Mariners.
Analysis
Young opened the scoring for the Mets with a 424-foot solo blast off Emerson Hancock in the fifth inning. Since returning from the injured list May 26 following left knee surgery, Young has gone 4-for-16 (.250) with two solo homers, five runs and three walks across six appearances. He should continue to push for opportunities at first base and designated hitter against right-handed pitching, though Jorge Polanco (Achilles) could return from the injured list as soon as this week and cut into his playing time.
