D-Backs send Young to Triple-A
The Diamondbacks have demoted center fielder Chris Young, who is batting .194 during a difficult season.
Young will report to the team’s Triple-A affiliate in Reno.
The Diamondbacks called up infielder Rusty Ryal from Reno, meaning Ryan Roberts may become an option as a corner outfielder.
The struggling 25-year-old was hitting .194 in 103 games with seven home runs and 28 RBIs, and was 1 for 8 with four strikeouts as the Diamondbacks were swept in Washington over the weekend.
Young, who signed a five-year, $28 million deal before last season, had 32 homers and 68 RBIs in 2007 and 22 homers with 85 RBIs last year.

Good to finally see Ryal get called up after having a good year in the minors. bCareer Stats
Edit: It seems the author had the same paragraph at the end of the article as well as the 3rd... weird.
