The 6’10″ righty tossed a simulated game this past Monday but was held from making a rehab appearance this weekend.  According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York:

Despite a need at the major league level with Mike Pelfrey lost to season-ending Tommy John surgery, team officials do not want to hurry Young back from May 16, 2011 surgery to repair a torn anterior capsule in his right shoulder.

Young’s fastball sat at 85 mph in the simulated game, which can use getting a shade higher before facing minor league batters in a formal game.”

With Chris Schwinden failing to give the Mets a shot at winning in either of his two starts while replacing Pelfrey (8 IP, 13 H, 10 ER, 11.25 ERA) the team will now give Miguel Batista a start on Tuesday and hope the veteran can at least keep things competitive until Young is ready to return.
