Chris Young tried testing his injured quad by running on Friday, but said that it still doesn't feel right.

Young elaborated, saying that he wasn't sure when he'll be able to return to the lineup. Look for Adam Eaton to continue drawing starts in center field in his absence.

Chris Young has been diagnosed with a right quad injury.

Young exited Monday's game after he the quad "grabbed on (him) a little" when he was running to first base in the eight inning. The outfielder doesn't think the injury is serious, but he seems likely to miss at least a game or two.

Chris Young went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer Thursday in the win over the Dodgers.

Young's homer off Clayton Kershaw gave the Diamondbacks the only runs they'd need tonight. A big disappointment for fantasy purposes, Young has just 14 homers and 38 RBI to go along with his .227 average this season. One wonders if the Diamondbacks will consider trading him this winter.

Chris Young went 2-for-4 with a double in Sunday's loss to the Padres.

The two-hit afternoon was Young's second in three days, but the extra-base hit was his first in six games. Young is having his best month since April, but still hitting just .250 with two home runs and six RBI through 20 August contests. He doesn't appear poised to be of much mixed-league use during the fantasy playoffs.

Chris Young went 4-for-5 with three RBI in the Diamondbacks' 12-4 thrashing of the Astros on Saturday.

Young has begun to collect extra-base hits with regularly, and is capable of maintaining the hot streak through the end of the summer. His OPS was .728 on August 14. It's now .768. Get him active again in fantasy leagues.

Chris Young was ejected from Wednesday's game for arguing balls and strikes.

Young was punched out by Larry Vanover on a questionable strike three, and he didn't seem to care too much for the first two called strikes, either. Justin Upton was also ejected from the game by second base umpire Brian O'Nora as Young was being ushered back to the dugout. It's Young's first career ejection and Upton's second.

Chris Young went 2-for-2 with a pair of walks, a home run, a stolen base and two RBI in Tuesday's victory over the Rockies.

Young seems destined to never fulfill the fantasy expectations of most, but it's a fool's errand to ignore him. In just 202 at-bats this year, he's posted a .785 OPS, almost 30 points higher than his career numbers. Young's power and speed are still apparent, as he's socked 11 homers and stolen six bases. Of course, his batting average is still a major hindrance -- he's batting .223, down 15 points on his career mark. Because he's gradually becoming a more efficient hitter, expect that average to come up a bit over the next two-plus months.

Chris Young is not in the Diamondbacks' lineup Sunday.

He's now been benched in four of the last seven games in favor of Gerardo Parra. Young homered on Wednesday and Thursday but then went 0-for-8 with five strikeouts the next two days to earn a spot on the pine again. It appears that the two outfielders will be splitting time until Young finds his stroke.

Chris Young's homer in the ninth inning on Thursday broke a 2-2 tie and led to the Diamondbacks picking up a 3-2 victory.

Young has struggled quite a bit since his return from the DL, hitting just .147 (15-for-102) with no homers and three RBI over 28 games before hitting a pinch-hit home run on Wednesday and following it up with Thursday's blast. Perhaps he's finally regaining his timing after the long layoff. Regardless, as long as he's hitting, he should be owned in most formats.

The slumping Chris Young was held out of the Diamondbacks' starting lineup for the second straight game Tuesday.

"He's been grinding pretty hard, he's been searching for it," said Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson. "I'm just kind of taking the initiative to slow him down a little bit." Young got off to a monster start this season, but he's hitting just .147/.237/.206 with zero homers, three RBI and a .443 OPS in 114 plate appearances since returning from a shoulder injury. It sounds like he may have come back too soon.

Chris Young is getting the night off Tuesday.

Young has just two hits in his last 27 at-bats and owns an underwhelming .230/.331/.413 slash line on the year. He admitted last month that he returned too quickly from a shoulder injury, and it's possible that the ailment is still having some effect. Gerardo Parra drew the start in center field on Tuesday night against the Mariners.

Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson admits that Chris Young "probably" came off the disabled list too soon.

Young, who got a night off Wednesday, has just three hits in 20 at-bats since being activated last week. "He probably came back (from the disabled list) a tad too early," Gibson said. "I DH'ed him, played him (in center field), DH'ed him and then played him two straight days. We have an off day tomorrow. I thought this was the right thing to do. You go from just working out and not playing to virtually playing every day, it's hard."

Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said after Thursday's game that Chris Young (shoulder) has a "pretty good chance" of returning from the disabled list Friday.

Chris Young (shoulder) blasted a grand slam during a rehab game for High-A Visalia Wednesday.

Young now has four hits and seven RBI in three rehab games. He'll go to Triple-A Reno Thursday and looks to have a good chance to rejoin the Diamondbacks over the weekend with how he's looked at the dish so far. The 28-year-old outfielder has been sidelined since mid-April due to a slight ligament tear in his right shoulder.

Chris Young went 2-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI Monday in his second minor league rehab game with High-A Visalia.

He also played three innings in center field. Young is 3-for-9 over his first two rehab games and will play a final game with Visalia on Wednesday before heading to Triple-A Reno. There's a chance he rejoins the D-Backs this weekend.

Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said Chris Young (shoulder) has an "outside shot" of playing this weekend against the Royals.

Young began a rehab assignment with High-A Visalia Monday and will stay there through Wednesday before heading to Triple-A Reno. Gibson isn't putting a timetable on how long Young will remain at Reno, but it sounds like we probably won't see him with the D'Backs until next week. "It's a different game ... here," Gibson said. "We'd like him to play most of the time or every day. He's just not 100 percent yet."

Chris Young (shoulder) expects to begin a minor league rehab assignment Monday.

Young played in an extended spring training game Thursday and hit live batting practice Friday. If he can play in minor league rehab games on Monday and Tuesday, there's a good chance he rejoins the Diamondbacks next weekend.

Barring any setbacks, he could be ready to rejoin the Diamondbacks at some point next week.
