If everything goes well in the outing it would line Blackburn up to rejoin New York's starting rotation five or six days later.
Mendoza confirmed before Saturday's game that LHP Young will join the Mets on Sunday when rosters expand as the team's extra arm.
In five starts, Blackburn is 1-2 with a 5.18 ERA (1.56 WHIP) in 24.1 innings.
In seven games, the 30-year-old (Young) owns a 1.29 ERA and gives New York another lefty option in relief.
