The New York Mets received some positive news regarding player Jared Young, who was recently involved in a frightening collision during a home game against the Philadelphia Phillies. According to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo, Young sustained a concussion after a knee to the head from pitcher Nolan McLean in the sixth inning. Despite exhibiting concussion symptoms, Young is showing promising signs, according to interim manager Andy Green.
The collision occurred while both Young and starting pitcher Pete Alonso attempted to field a ground ball hit by Justin Crawford. Young was immediately taken off the field on a stretcher and gave a thumbs up to fans, offering some relief amid the alarming incident. Young has been filling in at first base for the injured Jorge Polanco this season, maintaining a .266 batting average and .759 OPS with nine home runs and 39 RBIs over 103 games.
The Mets are optimistic about Young's recovery, but it remains unclear if he will have the chance to build upon his impressive season.
