Dmitri Young(Nationals):
First baseman Dmitri Young was scratched from Friday's lineup because of dizziness. Acta said Young had a high blood sugar level and was injected with insulin before the game. He also missed the last two games before the All-Star break because of lower back stiffness, an injury Acta said will be evaluated on a day-by-day basis. "We're not anticipating that just three days off would completely cure that," Acta said. "He's going to be dealing with that on and off."

Jaime Moyer(Phillies):
