Jacob Young of the Washington Nationals Placed on 10-Day Injured List Due to Shoulder Injury

Jacob Young's absence affects the Nationals' lineup, especially in center field. Before his injury, Young was hitting .227 with 25 hits in 110 at-bats. In his last three games, he showed improvement with a batting average of .333. Robert Hassell III is likely to see more playing time in Young's absence, though his current batting average is .143.

Young's performance included five stolen bases and a .309 on-base percentage. He played in 41 games, starting in 36, contributing as a dependable ninth-place batter with a .270 average. The Nationals will need to adjust without Young as they play upcoming games, including their matchup against the Seattle Mariners.
