Story summary

On Thursday night, Mets first baseman Jared Young was injured during a game against the Philadelphia Phillies when he collided with pitcher Nolan McLean while both were trying to field a slow roller hit by Justin Crawford. The collision occurred in the top of the sixth inning, causing Young to fall motionless on the ground for several minutes before being carted off on a stretcher and taken to a hospital. Initial CT scan results were negative, but Young was diagnosed with concussion symptoms and full use of his extremities. As a result of this injury, Young will miss the remainder of the 2023 season due to ongoing health concerns including headaches and memory loss. The incident led to an 85-68 record for the Phillies, tying them with the Chicago Cubs for the top NL wild card spot.
