The New York Mets placed first baseman Jared Young on the 7-day Concussion Injured List before the start of Friday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field. The team announced that Young is sidelined for the remainder of the regular season after he was involved in an inverted collision with right-hander Nolan McLean in the sixth inning of Thursday’s 3–0 loss to the Phillies. McLean, however, was not injured and finished the inning. In a corresponding move, the Mets recalled infielder Ronny Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse.
Jared Young Injury Update
Young sustained the injury when his face collided into the knee of McLean as both players attempted to field a ground ball in the sixth inning. Young went down and was unconscious for a moment as the Mets training staff immediately attend to him. Moments later, he was taken off the field on a stretcher and to a local hospital for further examination.
Interim manager Andy Green disclosed that Jared Young was discharged from the hospital and is doing “as good as expected or could be hoped for.” Young’s tests went well and he has full movement in his arms and legs, Green added. Green noted that Young is dealing “with some short term memory loss from how hard he got it.” He is also dealing with a “pretty bad headache.”
“[He has] full motion of his [arms] and legs. It is a concussion. I don’t know how to categorize the severity of the concussion,” Green said. “The CT scans are the results that we wanted and what the doctors were hoping for.”
“Im relieved, I think everybody is. All in all as good as we could have hoped for,” Green added.
