| Player Notes |
| August 29, 2007 Michael Young was back in the lineup Tuesday after sitting out one game and having an off day to rest a sore back, the AP reports. "It worked out," Young said. "I don't feel anything in my back. It was good to take two days off and put it behind me." Young had two hits in four at-bats Tuesday, and also scored a run. |
| August 23, 2007 Michael Young was in the starting lineup for both games Wednesday after leaving Tuesday's game in the fifth inning with back stiffness, the AP reports. Young went 5-for-10 on the day, though he didn't have a big share in the run production for Texas (Young scored twice and drove in another run, not much considering the Rangers piled up 39 runs in their sweep). |
| August 22, 2007 Michael Young left Tuesday's game in the sixth inning with back soreness, according to the Dallas Morning News. Young is expected to play at least one game of today's doubleheader, but it seems unlikely that he would play both. |
| August 21, 2007 Michael Young was scratched from Monday's game due to some stiffness in his back, according to the Dallas Morning News. Young said he didn't think the stiffness was due to playing on the artificial turf in Minnesota for three days but acknowledged that it didn't help. It's unclear if he'll be forced to miss any more time. |
| July 19, 2007 Michael Young will miss the next two games to attend the funeral of his wife's grandmother. He'll be back for Saturday's contest, according to the Dallas Morning News. |
| May 11, 2007 Michael Young, who left Wednesday's game with a tight hamstring, was not in the lineup on Thursday, but he expects to return to action tonight, according to the Dallas Morning News. "It's not going to be a big deal," Young said. "But it's probably the smart thing to do, give it a rest. I'll be ready [today]." |
| May 9, 2007 Michael Young left Wednesday's game in the bottom of the fifth with right hamstring tightness, and Ron Washington plans to keep him out Thursday, the Rangers official site reports. Young's considered day-to-day. "I'm going to be fine," Young said. "If I was pressed, I could post up and play (Thursday). But Wash thinks it's in our best interests to give me a blow." |
| March 14, 2007 Michael Young had minor surgery on his left ear Tuesday, having torn cartilage repaired, according to the Dallas Morning News. It's not considered serious and he's expected to be out just a week. Young was also hit by a pitch in Tuesday's game and had some stitches, but that shouldn't be a concern going forward. |
| March 1, 2007 Michael Young agreed to a five-year contract extension on Thursday worth $80 million, according to the AP. "We accomplished a great deal over the past four days," Young said. "This puts me here through the 2013 season and represents a great leap of faith on their part." Young hit .314 with 14 dingers and 103 RBI last year. |
| February 23, 2007 Michael Young is penciled in as the No. 3 hitter in the Rangers lineup, according to the Dallas Morning News. Young spent 80 percent of last season parked in the No. 2 spot in the order under former manager Buck Showalter; the Rangers are now led by first-year skipper Ron Washington. |
| February 21, 2007 The Rangers have reportedly offered Michael Young a contract that would keep him in Texas beyond the 2008 season, according to the Dallas Morning News. However, neither side is publicly talking about an offer or about anything having to do with the contract. The Rangers hold a option on Young for 2008 worth between $4 and $5 million. |
| February 9, 2007 The Rangers have started extension talks with Michael Young, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Young is signed through the coming season. The Rangers would like to get a deal done with Young in the next few weeks, as Young does not want to talk contract during the season. |
