Another quality start
Young (4-1) earned the win against Toronto on Friday, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out four across 6.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.
Analysis
Young was solid for most of Friday's start, limiting the Blue Jays to just one run through four innings before yielding a two-run homer to Brandon Valenzuela in the fifth. Young stayed in the game and pitched into the seventh frame, ending his night with 64 strikes on 85 pitches (75.3 percent strike rate) while logging seven groundouts and 22 first-pitch strikes (to 25 batters). He has registered three consecutive quality starts and is up to four on the season, which has Young sitting at a 3.47 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 37:17 K:BB across 49.1 innings. He's slated to make his next start next week at home against the Mariners.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Young missed most of 2022 and 2023 rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. His 93-mph fastball isn't dominating, but it's effective as part of a five-pitch arsenal including a cutter, change-up, curveball and a show-me slider. Individually, none grade as a plus-offering, but Young exhibits solid control and command, so together he punched out 132 with a reasonable 37 walks with just eight homers allowed in 111 innings last season. He started 24 of 27 combined appearances in Double- and Triple-A, though the Orioles restricted his pitch count until August. Young profiles as a back-end-of-the-rotation innings eater. The Orioles added him to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft, but that could also facilitate calling him up when a spot starter is needed, or for a longer stretch as an injury replacement. His stuff may not play as well against major league hitters, so he's a speculative stash.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Out of mix for Wednesday
Young isn't a candidate to start Wednesday against the Mets since he pitched for Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, reports Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com.
Analysis
The 26-year-old was recently named a candidate to step into Baltimore's rotation down the stretch by GM Mike Elias, but the right-hander's Triple-A schedule didn't line up with Zach Eflin's shoulder injury, which created the opening for Wednesday's contest. Young could still make his MLB debut later in the season, though it may require Eflin to miss more than the 15-day minimum if the Orioles are going to go through the trouble of adding Young to the 40-man roster.
