Weight issues appear to be in Dmitri’s way back to MLB. From a recent article at mlb.com:
But, first, Young has to get into game shape. Young, 33, is currently working out in Minor League camp and playing in the team’s accelerated intrasqaud games. On Friday afternoon, he was seen working hard in the weight room and acknowledged that he has to lose weight. He declined to say how much he has to lose, but baseball sources said that 10 to 15 pounds is not a stretch. Young’s playing weight is listed as 220. There is no timetable as to when Young will join the Major League club.
Young was signed to the Nationals but has yet to play in any Spring Training games.
