Mets First Baseman Suffers Scary Head Injury on Field Collision
18 Sep
Summary
- Jared Young sustained a head injury during a collision with a teammate.
- Medical personnel stabilized his head and neck before he was carted off.
- Young has been a productive player for the Mets this season.
A frightening collision occurred during a recent Phillies-Mets game at Citi Field, resulting in a significant injury to Mets first baseman Jared Young. In the sixth inning, a miscommunication between Young and pitcher Nolan McLean while fielding a ground ball led to McLean's knee striking Young's head. Young was immediately attended to by medical staff and was subsequently transported off the field on a stretcher, with his head and neck stabilized. This season, Young has been a valuable offensive contributor for the Mets, batting .266/.330/.429 with 17 doubles and nine home runs. His increased playing time stems from the absence of other key players like Pete Alonso and Jorge Polanco.
