Jacob Young Hitting the Bench Vs. Mets
Jacob Young won't be in Thursday's lineup for his team's final game of their series against the New York Mets. Teammate Robert Hassell III is operating center field in his stead and batting ninth. The Florida native will take a seat with right-handed pitcher Kodai Senga taking the mound for New York. With a .209 (19-for-91) average thus far against righties, Young has been relegated to the short side of the platoon. Since returning from the injured list last week, he's started all three games when a left-handed hurler ran out to the mound. The 25-year-old is slashing a dreary .237/.313/.288 through 118 at-bats on the season.
