Diamondbacks to start LHP Alex Young on Thursday

The Arizona Diamondbacks are starting Triple-A Reno pitcher Alex Young on Thursday, manager Torey Lovullo announced after Tuesday’s loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

“I remember a couple of his outings, I remember a couple things that he did in spring training,” Lovullo said Wednesday. “I was impressed with the short looks that we got. And that’s what spring training’s all about: make a positive impression on the staff. You know you’re not going to make the team, you’re there just for a quick shot.”

Nice start. Farm system needs to come through this season. It's time for some of these players.

Indeed, he and 1st round pick that year, Braden Shipley have been the forgotten men in the farm.

Taylor Clarke and Merrill Kelly to start in LA. Skipping Alex Young, who will stay here for now.

It's Greinke/Ray/TBA. Alex Young is not in the plans to get another start, but he's staying with the big league team for now. He'll be available in relief. Perhaps he could start next Sunday vs. Rockies, but they say they haven't decided what they'll do that day.

I am guessing they'll have Adam Jones leadoff that day.
