Delmon Young went 0-for-3 with a sac fly on Wednesday and is hitting .130 since coming off the disabled list.

Young went 2-for-3 with a homer in his season debut April 28, but he's just 1-for-20 since. Obviously, his glove won't be keeping him in the lineup, so it'd be for the best if he starts hitting soon.

Delmon Young is starting in right field Thursday for the first time since the 2007 season.

Young was able to DH in the Phillies' previous two games in Cleveland but will have to play the outfield now that the Phillies are back to facing National League clubs. It probably isn't going to be a pretty sight.

Delmon Young will serve as the designated hitter again Wednesday against the Indians.

Young went 2-for-3 with solo homer Tuesday in his return from the disabled list. It's unclear whether the Phillies think he can play every day in right field -- of course, we already know the answer -- so those in mixed leagues can afford to wait and see.

Delmon Young - OF - Phillies

Delmon Young went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, but the Phillies lost to the Indians on Tuesday.

Young homered in his first at-bat of the season and added a single later. Given Domonic Brown's struggles, Young should see plenty of at-bats now that he's healthy. Still, the upside is limited and Young should probably be left for NL-only leagues at the current time.

Phillies activated OF Delmon Young from the 15-day disabled list.

This confirms a report by Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com. Young is expected to serve as the club's regular right fielder now that he's fully recovered from ankle surgery, but the Phillies will ease him into action as a designated hitter for their series against the Indians this week. Per the terms of his contract, he will receive a $250,000 bonus for being added to the active roster.

Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com reports that that Delmon Young (ankle) is on his way to join the Phillies in Cleveland.

It isn't confirmed that he'll be activated, but the Phillies could ease him into action as the designated hitter under American League rules. Young, who had offseason surgery on his ankle, batted .367 (11-for-30) with two doubles and two RBI over seven rehab games with High-A Clearwater and Triple-A Lehigh Valley. His defense will be problematic, but he should be worth using in NL-only and deeper mixed formats.

Delmon Young (ankle) will move his rehab assignment to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday.

Young is spending the majority of this week with the High-A Clearwater Threshers. He is on his way back from microfracture ankle surgery and should be ready to join the Phillies' roster at some point in early May.

Delmon Young (ankle) went 1-for-4 in his first rehab game Sunday with the High-A Clearwater Threshers.

Young looked awful on defense, misplaying one ball in right field that led to a triple and later committing a blatant fielding error. "Obviously, we want his bat, but if he can't play defense, he can't play in the National League," Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said Sunday. "He's going to have to be adequate out there." Young is recovering from microfracture ankle surgery.
