Dmitri Young - On bench?

[Lickproof]

Anyone know why Dmitri Young has been on the bench the last two days (he did pinch hit last night)? They just resting those legs of his that hold up that big 'ol load above?

I just picked up Dmitri Young last week in my league. He had put up brillant stats for me before they started sitting him up. He pinch-hit today(Saturday) and drew a Walk.

In the 6 games he appeared in for me, not counting his 0/1 back-to-back games vs. Colorado on Thursday and Friday, Young went 8/21 with 1 Home Run, 9 Rbi's and 3 Runs.

I found the below copy and paste on Rotowire.

>>News: Young (bruised ribcage) was held out of the starting lineup again on Saturday, but was able to appear as a pinch-hitter.

Spin: He could be back in the lineup as early as Sunday, after walking in his only at-bat Saturday. Robert Fick started at first base in his place on Saturday and would likely do the same on Sunday if Young is unable to go.<<

I'm going to go ahead and put him on my roster this week in the 'Utility' position. The Nats play a double-header next Saturday.

Thanks for the info! I picked him up the same time, along with B. Butler and both have provided and huge spark for my team. Hopefully, he's back in the lineup today since it's a bruise and not a pull.
