ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) --- Washington Nationals center fielder Jacob Young

but held on to the ball and quickly get it to left fielder Daylen Lile to
prevent Chandler Simpson from advancing from first base.
Young was down on the warning track for several minutes while being attended to
by the Washington training staff. He eventually got to his feet and walked off
the field to the Nationals' dugout.
After the game Washington manager Blake Butera told reporters that Young is
considered day-to-day.
