He was brought back to be a stopgap bullpen asset. They didn't all of a sudden have some renewed faith in him being able to shoulder a spot in the rotation and hold up. Circumstances forced their hand to make do, and he has gotten worked over in a role he would never be an asset to the team as.

Young's contract NEVER made sense. He was a minimal salary guy last season, which was fine. Anything more than that didn't make sense.
The Gordon signing was going to be problematic to a team like the Royals, even if he maintained his production.
