Young was reassigned to minor league camp Sunday, the Angels' official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Young was destined for Triple-A Salt Lake all along and a .500/.560/.636 batting line in 22 spring at-bats was not enough to change that. Don't expect to see him with the Angels any time this season. Kole Calhoun and J.B. Shuck are the remaining outfielders in competition for a bench spot with the big league club.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2012
2011
Young will join Detroit as a non-roster invitee this spring. He struggled in his first cup of coffee at the major league level last year, hitting just .208/.269/.229 in 48 at-bats with the Braves. The 29-year-old outfielder has been a decent source of batting average and stolen bases throughout his minor league career, but his time to make a crack at a major league roster is wearing thin.
Young will be 28 this season, so he's not a top prospect. But after hitting hit .308/.380/.407 with 39 stolen bases for Triple-A Gwinnett last season, he's being given strong consideration for a reserve role in the majors. He has the speed to be useful in many fantasy formats if he makes the major league roster in a reserve role.
