NL East Notes: Young, Mauricio, Edwards

Today's game national Orioles include a frightening moment Jacob Young As Spencer Nausbaum of The Washington Post pointed out, hit the wild wall at full speed. He eventually left the game with a left shoulder injury and was replaced Alex Calls In the outfield. Fortunately, Nausbaum noticed a decrease in X-ray effect on Young's shoulder after the game. The 25-year-old is still uncertain tomorrow until further assessment, but it is undoubtedly a good sign for an exciting defeat to the club in Baltimore.
Young, 25, didn't play much in regular games in his second season. In 124 sets this season, he released a meager slash line at just 0.215/.300/.252, with zero home runs and only four doubles. Despite the poor performance on this dish, Young largely made up for elite defense and basic running. According to Statcast, Young is still in the 88th percentile of value on Basepaths this year, even as his league leads four times before the stolen base attempt. The defense is almost as good as his +2 outs are above average, putting him in tie for other strong defenders among NL midfielders, e.g. Brenton Doyle and Johan Rojas.
and James Wood and Dylan Crew Every day around the corner of the outfield and calling a steady 114 WRC+ on a part-time basis, Young may need to hit more to keep the lineup regularly for a long time, especially in the case of potential clients Robert Hassel III This year, we will start to hit the triple A-level. However, for the time being, the Nationals will surely resume action quickly for their midfielder fielders, as the loss of the young will likely force the crew to slide to the center field more regularly. As of this year so far, the Nath will certainly avoid other responsibilities at this point due to the serious division of crew members on the plate.

- this metropolis The infielder of choice Ronnie Mauricio After completing the rehabilitation mission at Double-A level, you will be participating in Triple-A today. As Anthony Dicomo of MLB.com pointed out, given that Mauricio is already among minors, the move is largely procedural. Mauricio missed the entire 2024 season after suffering a tear from the ACL in the winter ball, and so far this year he has played in just ten games among minors as he recovers fast in single A games at five games and five games with Double-A. Now, Mauricio will resume form with the club's Syracuse branch. Given that his hit percentage is only .125/.176/.188, he strikes out at 35.9% so far this year, it’s safe to say that Mauricio is still focused on recovery at the moment and may not be a realistic major league choice for the Mets for some time.
- this MarlinAt the same time, no shortstop Xavier Edwards It's now lasting in the lineup for two days due to back pain. Craig Mish of the Miami Herald said today that Edwards accepted imaging, according to manager Clayton McCullough “It's OK to come out” Edwards plans to resume baseball activities today. It is not clear whether the Edwards are expected to return to the roster tomorrow, but if traveling to the injured roster is taken into account, it would be an ideal time to think of it as a hypothetical IL job and if it starts tomorrow, it can be reviewed on May 16. Last year, Edwards was one of the club's best batsmen in 70 games, but reached only .263/.337/.292 in the 2025 campaign. Javier Sanoja Filling in at shortstop when Edwards fails.
