Young (2-0) picked up the win Thursday over the Diamondbacks, striking out two batters in a perfect eighth inning.
Entering the game with the score tied 2-2, Young fanned Corbin Carroll and Randal Grichuk and was rewarded when the Mets took their first and only lead of the night in the bottom of the frame. Recalled from Triple-A Syracuse earlier in the day Thursday, Young has made only three big-league appearances this season but has collected a win in two of them, and he has yet to allow an earned run in four innings with a 5:3 K:BB. Given the shambles the Mets bullpen is in, the 30-year-old southpaw could see consistent high-leverage work as long as he remains effective.

Mets' Danny Young: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.
Young will absorb the roster spot vacated by Jorge Lopez, who has been designated for assignment. The left-handed Young threw three scoreless innings with the Mets earlier this season and boasts a 1.59 ERA over 11.1 frames with Syracuse, although he's also issued 11 walks at the latter spot.

Mets' Danny Young: Returning to majors
Rotowire
The Mets will recall Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
With the Mets running low on fresh bullpen arms and Jorge Lopez slated to be DFA'd, Young will return to New York for his second big-league stint of the season. The 30-year-old southpaw threw three scoreless innings across two games with the Mets in early May, and he's posted a 1.59 ERA through 11.1 innings in the minors. Although he's had success limiting runs, Young has been known to give up a fair amount of walks, so he will presumably work in middle relief once he officially gets the call to the majors.

Rotowire
The Mets optioned Young to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.
Young was called up by the Mets on April 28. He appeared in two games, including May 2 against the Cubs when he earned his first major-league win after allowing one unearned run on two hits and a walk while striking out one batter over one frame. Young and right-hander Dedniel Nunez will head down to Triple-A Syracuse, while right-handers Christian Scott and Cole Sulser move up to the big club in corresponding moves.

Mets' Danny Young: Earns first big-league win
Rotowire
Young (1-0) earned the win in Thursday's extra-innings victory over the Cubs, allowing one unearned run on two hits and a walk. He struck out one.
Young gave up a leadoff double to Nick Madrigal in the 11th inning, allowing the free runner to score, but he'd hold the Cubs there thanks in large part to Starling Marte, who threw Madrigal out at the plate after he tried to score on a two-out single. The Mets would then walk it off in the bottom half of the frame on Francisco Lindor's two-run double. It's the first win in the majors for Young, who was also making his Mets debut. The left-hander was solid in limited action with Atlanta last season, allowing one earned run while striking out 11 in 8.1 innings. Brooks Raley (elbow) doesn't have a clear timeline for his return, so Young should have a consistent role in New York's bullpen with Jake Diekman being the team's only other left-handed option.

Danny Young: Cut loose by Atlanta
Rotowire
Atlanta released Young (undisclosed) on Wednesday.
Young compiled a 1.08 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in eight relief appearances for Atlanta earlier this season before being optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on May 16. He was deactivated at Triple-A in late June and was later moved to the full-season injured list, though Atlanta hasn't disclosed the nature of his injury. Since he wasn't due to pitch again in 2023, Atlanta opted to release Young in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Seth Elledge, whose contract was selected from Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Rotowire

Even though Atlanta optioned Young to Triple-A on Tuesday, he'll be eligible to rejoin the big club one day later because reliever Joe Jimenez (personal) was placed on the paternity list Wednesday in a corresponding move.
