The Tigers announced Delmon Young will start in left field for Game 1 of the World Series.

With the the DH slot unavailable, Young will remain in the Tigers' starting lineup, as expected. Andy Dirks will likely be forced into a bench role.

Delmon Young launched a solo homer in Tuesday's win over the Yankees.

He got the scoring started in the fourth with blast into the left-field bullpen before Miguel Cabrera plated what turned out to be the winning run with an RBI double in the fifth. Young also had a longball in Game 1, driving in three runs in that contest. He now has seven homers in two postseasons for the Tigers, which is a franchise record.

Delmon Young hit an RBI double to break a 4-4 tie in the 12th inning of Game 1 of the ALCS on Saturday, helping the Tigers to a 6-4 victory over the Yankees.

The double in the 12th was hammered at Nick Swisher in right field, but he played it awkwardly and was unable to make the grab. Young blooped a one-out RBI single to right in the sixth inning, increasing the Tigers' advantage to 2-0, and led off the eighth with a solo blast off Derek Lowe. Despite being acquired just last season, the homer was Young's sixth postseason homer as a member of the Tigers, setting the all-time franchise record.

Delmon Young knocked in three of the Tigers' four runs with a pair of singles on Monday.

Young has been a star against the White Sox in his career, hitting .333 with 13 homers and 54 RBI in 294 at-bats. That's one homer every 23 at-bats. He's hit .264 and averaged one homer every 40 at-bats against everyone else.

Delmon Young will get the day off Saturday.

Young is batting just .172 (5-for-29) with 13 strikeouts over his last seven games, so he'll take a seat against Justin Masterson. Quintin Berry will start in his place.

Delmon Young hit a three-run homer Sunday off Chris Sale in the victory over the White Sox.

Young had two homers and drove in seven of the Tigers' 16 runs in the three-game sweep of the White Sox. His OPS, which stood at .694 as recently as Aug. 24, is up to .746 now, the highest it's been since April.

Delmon Young homered for a third consecutive game, powering the Tigers to a 9-8 victory over the Royals in Detroit on Saturday.

Young finished the game 1-for-4 with the two-run blast off Nate Adcock in the seventh inning which would eventually stand as the winning run in the game. This marks the first time in Young's career that he's homered in three straight games, and gives him nine on the season. Perhaps there is some mixed league value left to salvage here after all.

Delmon Young went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Rays.

Young's solo blast off David Price in the fifth inning put the Tigers on the board, cutting the Rays lead to 3-1 at the time. His bat has finally started to heat up a bit, as he's now hit safely in 15 of his last 17 starts, raising his average from .254 to .269 in the process. He's still only 26-years-old and has shown the ability to carry an offense when he's going right, so don't give up on him yet in fantasy leagues.

Delmon Young is sitting out Thursday's game.

It's only a day off. Brennan Boesch will serve as the Tigers' DH. Don Kelly draws the start in right field.

Delmon Young connected on his second home run of the series and fourth of the year, helping the Tigers to defeat the Red Sox on Thursday.

He finished the night 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI, including the solo homer off of Franklin Morales in the eighth inning. While he has had to deal with plenty of off-field issues this season, Young has struggled to get his bat going out of the gate. He's hitting just .256 on the season with four homers and 19 RBI while hitting primarily fifth in the Tigers lineup. Those who have stayed patient and hung onto Young surely hope that he's starting to heat up, as there's still plenty of potential to be realized in his 26-year-old bat.

Delmon Young is due in a Manhattan court Tuesday and might miss the Tigers' game against the Red Sox.

Young faces a misdemeanor aggravated harassment charge for making anti-Semitic remarks during a dust-up outside out of the New York Hilton in April. "It depends upon how long the hearing takes and the flight schedule," manager Jim Leyland told reporters Sunday. "We are hopeful that he will not miss the game."

Delmon Young went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's win over the Pirates.

He hit a solo shot off Charlie Morton in the fourth inning, and accounted for the majority of the Tigers' offense. Off to a slow start, Young is hitting .235/.292/.353 with 13 RBI in 32 games this season.

Delmon Young went 0-for-4 on Monday and is 1-for-10 since returning to Detroit's lineup.

Tonight's lousy game came at DH. Young has made it clear verbally that he doesn't like DHing, and he's also demonstrating it with his performance. He's just 4-for-34 (.118) as a DH this season, compared to 13-for-43 (.302) as an outfielder.

Delmon Young went 0-for-4 against the White Sox on Saturday in his return to the Tigers lineup.

Young served as the DH in his first game back from suspension, and will be cast in the same role again on Sunday. The Tigers are much better off defensively with Andy Dirks in left field and Young DH'ing, but Delmon's preference is to play in the field everyday. Regardless, his .229 average and five RBI on the season are dismal regardless of where he's playing.

Delmon Young returned to the Tigers' lineup Saturday against the White Sox.

Young will DH and will bat fifth in his first game since his April 27 arrest in New York. The 26-year-old is hitting just .242/.311/.333 with one home run and five RBI in 74 plate appearances this season. Andy Dirks is starting in left field and batting eighth.

Tigers reinstated OF Delmon Young from the restricted list.

Young's suspension is up, but he won't return to the starting lineup right away, as manager Jim Leyland wants to get him running around and hitting again before putting him back in action. He could be back in there Saturday against the White Sox' Gavin Floyd.

Tigers manager Jim Leyland said that Delmon Young will not start Friday's game.

MLB suspended Young for seven days without pay on Monday following his arrest in New York last week, but since the punishment is retroactive, he'll be eligible to return to the Tigers on Friday. Leyland said that Young will be available, but that he wants to get him running around and hitting again before putting him back in the lineup. The 26-year-old is hitting just .242/.311/.333 with one homer and five RBI through his first 18 games this season.

Major League Baseball has suspended Delmon Young seven days without pay for the incident that occurred outside of the New York Hilton on April 27.

The suspension is retroactive, so he'll be eligible to return to the lineup on Friday. Young was batting just .242/.311/.333 with one homer and five RBI through his first 18 games, so it's not a big blow for the Tigers to be without him for a few more games. Andy Dirks, Don Kelly and Brad Eldred will continue to handle left field and the DH spots while Young is out.

According to Andy Soltis of the New York Post, Major League Baseball plans to suspend Delmon Young.

An announcement could come Monday outlining the punishment. Young was arrested early Friday morning outside of the New York Hilton for pushing a man to the ground and making anti-Semitic remarks during what sounds like a drunken rampage. He was released on $5,000 bail Friday night but has been placed on the restricted list by the Tigers and must now be considered out indefinitely. Young was batting .242/.311/.333 with one homer and five RBI through his first 18 games.

Delmon Young will remain on the restricted list pending an evaluation Monday.

Independent doctors for MLB and MLPA must agree on Young's ability to play minus alcohol or "anger management" challenges. The Tigers are expected to make a roster decision shortly thereafter. If Young is cleared to play, he'll be reinstated, potentially as soon as Tuesday.
