Mets lefthander Young revived career with long-delayed hip surgery For Mets reliever Danny Young, pitching through hip pain was fine. Having trouble putting on socks and shoes was not.
Back in bullpen The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact 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.

Returning from Triple-A The Mets will recall Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Impact With Sean Reid-Foley (undisclosed) 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.
JUNE 22 • ROTOWIRE
Officially demoted The Mets optioned Young to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.
Impact 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.
JUNE 13 • ROTOWIRE
Nabs win in return Young (2-0) picked up the win Thursday over the Diamondbacks, striking out two batters in a perfect eighth inning.
Impact 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. Young has made only three big-league appearances this season but he's 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 more consistent high-leverage work as long as he remains effective.
MAY 31 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled from Triple-A The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.
Impact 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.
MAY 30 • ROTOWIRE
Returning to majors The Mets will recall Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Impact 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.
MAY 30 • ROTOWIRE
Cut loose by Atlanta Atlanta released Young (undisclosed) on Wednesday.
Impact Young compiled a 1.08 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in eight relief appearances for Atlanta earlier this season before being optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on May 16. He was deactivated at Triple-A in late June and was later moved to the full-season injured list, though Atlanta hasn't disclosed the nature of his injury. Since he wasn't due to pitch again in 2023, Atlanta opted to release Young in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Seth Elledge, whose contract was selected from Gwinnett on Wednesday.
JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Goes on full-season IL Triple-A Gwinnett transferred Young from the 7-day injured list to the full-season IL on Friday due to an unspecified injury.
Impact Young previously logged a 1.08 ERA over eight appearances out of the Atlanta bullpen earlier this season, but he hadn't pitched with the big club since May 15 after being optioned to Gwinnett. The left-hander proceeded to make 13 appearances for Gwinnett before being deactivated July 1 with an injury that will end his season. Young still possesses a spot on Atlanta's 40-man roster, but he could be recalled and transferred to the big club's 60-day IL when room on the roster needed.

Back with big club Atlanta recalled Young from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
Impact Even though Atlanta optioned Young to Triple-A on Tuesday, he'll be eligible to rejoin the big club one day later because reliever Joe Jimenez (personal) was placed on the paternity list Wednesday in a corresponding move. The 28-year-old southpaw pitched well over his four prior relief appearances for Atlanta, striking out six while allowing one earned run on three hits across 3.1 innings.

Remains in organization Young cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.
Impact Young was designated for assignment by Atlanta earlier this week, but he'll stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 28-year-old has spent most of the year at the Triple-A level this year and has a 3.86 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 40:9 K:BB across 28 innings.

Young will now lose his spot on the 40-man roster entirely, as Atlanta needed to clear a spot for utility infielder Ryan Goins, whose contract was purchased from Gwinnett.

Impact Young rejoined the Mariners' top affiliate for the weekend after he was optioned back to Tacoma following a doubleheader Wednesday with the Nationals.

JULY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Up for doubleheader The Mariners recalled Young from Triple-A Tacoma and designated him as their 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader in Washington.

Young previously covered 3.2 innings across two appearances with Seattle this season, allowing three earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five.
