The Nationals have returned reliever Terrell Young, their Rule 5 pick, to the Cincinnati Reds.

The right-hander was the first selection made in last December's Rule 5 draft, but he injured his shoulder in spring training and spent the last month on the 15-day disabled list. Once he became healthy, Young was placed on waivers. And once he cleared, he was given back to the Reds. The Nationals get $25,000 back of the $50,000 they originally paid to draft him.
