Overview
- The collision happened Thursday night at Citi Field when pitcher Nolan McLean and first baseman Jared Young converged on a slow grounder and McLean’s knee struck Young’s head.
- Young lay motionless and was immobilized on a backboard before being taken off the field on a stretcher and transported to a local hospital.
- The Mets announced Young had feeling in his extremities and manager Andy Green said a hospital CT scan was negative while Young continued to show concussion symptoms.
- McLean was visibly shaken after the play, briefly stayed in the game, and was removed before the seventh inning, with Mark Vientos replacing Young at first base.
- Because MLB concussion protocols and the short remaining schedule would keep even a brief concussion absence from the field, outlets expect Young will likely miss the rest of the season.
