CHRIS YOUNG RUMORS & GOSSIP

Chris Young had a very solid day on the mound.  He threw a total of 6 innings with 87 total pitches and 50 strikes.  The control wasn’t so much wavering as the 3 walks might indicate, you have to realize that Chris Young lives on the corners and is going to miss them on occasion.  Young’s velocity lived between the Fastball: 82 MPH and his Off Speed: 63 MPH. In the whole...

Ruben Tejada has been out since straining the quad running to first base on May 6. He attempted some baserunning Friday that went “so-so,” Terry Collins said, then adding “it’s not a setback.” “He still has some point tenderness in the thigh so it has not changed,” the manager said. “When he runs the bases he said he was still uncomfortable, so they slowed...

Mejia�...
