Mariners' Cole Young: Belts three-run homer
Young went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Friday's 5-1 win over the Guardians.
Young was held hitless Thursday, going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts to start the season. He bounced back with a go-ahead blast in the fourth inning Friday, the fifth homer of his young major-league career. The second baseman launched six homers and added 18 RBI over 19 games in spring training, so there's some power potential, though he'll likely be negatively impacted by playing half his games at T-Mobile Park. He posted a .607 OPS, four homers, 24 RBI, 24 runs scored and one stolen base over 257 plate appearances during the 2025 regular season. Young looks to have a clear path to at-bats versus right-handed pitchers this season, and a strong start to the year could make him a near-everyday player.

Mariners' Cole Young: Huge day vs. Guardians
Young went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs, a double, five total RBI and four total runs scored in Friday's 20-8 Cactus League victory over the Cleveland.
Young started the Mariners' offensive outburst with a solo shot off Logan Allen in the second inning before blasting a two-run, 478-foot moonshot off Matt Festa in the sixth. Young has been on a tear this spring, batting .349 (15-for-43) with six homers in his last 13 Cactus League games. The 22-year-old infielder seems to have locked up a spot on Seattle's Opening Day roster, especially with J.P. Crawford's (shoulder) status still up in the air.

Mariners' Cole Young: Homers Sunday
Young went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Rangers.
It had been a tough start to the spring for Young, who'd gone 0-for-8 with six strikeouts in his first four contests before launching a 442-foot homer off lefty Jacob Latz in the first inning Sunday. The 22-year-old Young continues to battle with top prospect Colt Emerson for the the final starting infield job. Young opened camp as the favorite, though his slow start may have closed the gap. Young appeared in 77 regular-season games as a rookie last year, batting .211 with a .607 OPS, four homers and one stolen base across 257 plate appearances.

Mariners' Cole Young: Remains favorite for 2B job
Young "would have to struggle mightily to lose his grip on the second-base job," Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
New acquisition Brendan Donovan's primary position has been second base, but he will enter spring training slated to see most of his action in 2026 at third base. Young put up just a .607 OPS in 257 plate appearances during his rookie season, but he is only 22 and the Mariners remain high on his long-term potential. If Young stumbles, Seattle could consider shifting Donovan over to second base and installing Colt Emerson at the hot corner.

Mariners' Cole Young: Won't be blocked by outside add
Young is expected to see the majority of playing time at second base for the Mariners in 2026 even if the team acquires a second baseman from outside the organization, Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic report.
The Mariners remain very high on Young even after he had just a .607 OPS in 257 plate appearances during his rookie season. Young is just 22, but the Mariners appear committed to giving him some leash in the majors in 2026. It seemingly makes a trade for Ketel Marte unlikely, and if Brendan Donovan is acquired, he would be in line to see the bulk of his reps at a position other than second base.

Mariners' Cole Young: Leading candidate for second base
Young is the leading candidate to start at second base for the Mariners next season, Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports.
Young's playing time tapered off for the Mariners down the stretch of the regular season and he did not play during the playoffs. However, Seattle remains high on the 22-year-old's potential despite a .211/.302/.305 batting line in 77 games this season. The Mariners could acquire a second baseman from outside the organization, but if they don't, the left-handed-hitting Young is the top candidate to start at least against righties. Leo Rivas and Ryan Bliss (knee) will also be in the mix.

Mariners' Cole Young: Losing grip on starting job
Young is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
The left-handed-hitting Young has now been out of the lineup for five consecutive games, and Monday marks the third time during that stretch that he's sat against a right-handed starting pitcher (Miles Mikolas). Leo Rivas will get the nod at the keystone in the series opener with St. Louis and may have overtaken Young as the Mariners' preferred option at the position. Young's drop in playing time comes while he's gone just 2-for-38 (.053 average) over his last 15 games.

Mariners' Cole Young: Not in Wednesday's starting lineup
Young is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Rays on Wednesday.
Young will be on the bench for beginning of Wednesday's game while Jorge Polanco shifts to the keystone, Cal Raleigh serves as the designated hitter and Mitch Garver gets the start behind home plate. Young struggled at the plate in August and has gone 1-for-25 over his last 10 games, which has lowered his season OPS to .639 across 240 plate appearances.

Mariners' Cole Young: Sitting against another lefty
Young is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.
The left-handed-hitting Young will be held out of the starting nine for the second straight day while the Mariners take on another lefty starter (JP Sears). Jorge Polanco will spell Young at the keystone.

Mariners' Cole Young: Idle for series finale
Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
The left-handed-hitting Young had started in each of Seattle's last three games, but he'll head to the bench Sunday while the Athletics send southpaw Jacob Lopez to the hill. Jorge Polanco will replace Young at second base and will bat seventh.

Mariners' Cole Young: Amasses season-high four RBI
Young went 1-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's 12-7 loss to the Phillies.
The four RBI were a season high for the rookie infielder, who blasted his fourth big fly of the season. With Ryan Bliss (biceps) still likely several weeks away from going on a rehab assignment, Young should remain Seattle's primary second baseman moving forward. Even so, Young is slashing a lukewarm .247/.333/.363 with 23 RBI and 22 runs scored through 209 plate appearances, so his fantasy appeal has remained limited.

Mariners' Cole Young: Big day in Friday's win
Young went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and three RBI in Friday's 11-9 win over the Mets.
The rookie second baseman put together the best performance of his young career at the plate, setting a new personal best in RBI while tying his previous bests in hits and extra-base hits in a single game. Young is finding a groove in the majors after struggling to make much of an impact initially after his late-May promotion -- over his last 12 games, he's slashing .333/.487/.567 with two doubles, a triple, a homer, a steal, seven runs, seven RBI and a stellar 9:5 BB:K.

Mariners' Cole Young: Getting day off
Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
With Cal Raleigh getting a day off from catching but sticking in the lineup at designated hitter, Jorge Polanco will receive the start at second base while Young heads to the bench. The rookie still appears to be viewed as Seattle's top option at the keystone, but with a .253 batting average, three home runs, one steal, 21 runs and 16 RBI through his first 53 big-league games, Young's fantasy appeal will mostly be limited to AL-only leagues or deeper mixed leagues.

Mariners' Cole Young: Receiving afternoon off
Young is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.
The Mariners will give Cal Raleigh a day off from catching but are keeping his bat in the lineup at designated hitter, so Jorge Polanco will give up his usual DH duties but stay in the starting nine himself by taking over for Young at second base. Young had started in each of Seattle's last six games, going 6-for-17 with a home run, a stolen base, four walks, four RBI and four runs to improve his season-long slash line to .252/.326/.352 over 179 plate appearances.

Mariners' Cole Young: Big hits in Thursday's win
Young went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI triple and a second run scored in Thursday's 6-0 win over the Rangers.
Young's fifth-inning home run was a mammoth blast to right field that left the bat at 113.4 mph. The next inning, he added an RBI triple at a still-sizzling 106.3 mph before scoring on a passed ball. The infielder entered Thursday just 4-for-24 over nine games since the All-Star break, so this was a big performance for him. He's up to a .247/.311/.356 slash line with three homers, 14 RBI, 16 runs scored, five doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 162 plate appearances. The Mariners' trade-deadline moves didn't address the middle infield, so Young should continue to hold down a strong-side platoon role at second base.

Mariners' Cole Young: Resting Saturday
Young isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.
Young will get a chance to rest Saturday after going 1-for-3 with a walk during Friday's contest. Jorge Polanco will cover second base while Young rests, putting Cal Raleigh at the DH spot while Mitch Garver starts behind the dish.
