This performance, featuring his first homer of the season, offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers who've watched Young struggle to make a significant impact with a modest .250 batting average over 108 games. His speed has been a consistent asset, with 27 stolen bases, but his power display has been lacking until now.

Managers should view Young as a speed-first option with limited power contributions, useful primarily in deeper leagues or as a streaming option when steals are needed.
