Daniel Young: Breaking News

Shifted to 60-day IL

Atlanta transferred Young (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Saturday. Young is on the mend from Tommy John surgery and isn't expected to return from the injured list until closer to the All-Star break, so his move to the 60-day IL doesn't affect his timeline. He'll give up his place on the 40-man roster to Luke Williams, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

Moves to IL

Atlanta placed Young (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday. Young is unlikely to be ready to make his season debut for Atlanta until later this summer while he works his way back from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent back in May. The southpaw reliever could be shifted to the 60-day IL at some point when Atlanta needs to open up another spot on the 40-man roster.

Inks split contract with Atlanta

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.
