Young hit .242/.290/.352 with a home run, six RBI, 22 runs and eight stolen bases in 165 at-bats.

Young entered the game mired in a 1-for-17 slump. He's batting .200 (7 for 35) with one home run, two doubles, two RBI, three walks, three stolen bases and seven runs in 12 May games (seven starts).

Of course, at age 39, Helton won't play every day. Young was playing one out of every two games even before Helton went on the DL with a strained forearm. Still, he's useless in mixed leagues if he's not getting full-time at-bats.

As a speedster with a knack for getting on base, Young is still an intriguing Fantasy option, but until the Rockies' next injury, he's a better fit for your scout team than your roster.

Young didn't start the day half of the doubleheader but he made the most of his starting opportunity in the second half. In addititon to a 3-for-5 night, Young scored a run, knocked in a run and stole a base.

Young has shown usefulness when given starts -- he's hitting .302/.339/.415 in 53 at-bats -- and the Rockies seem to like him as the first player off the bench in the outfield now. He has started six of the past eight games, although Dexter Fowler was dealing with a foot injury for some of that time.
