Mets' Jared Young Carted Off Field After Collision with Teammate Nolan McLean
Trainers stabilized Young’s neck after the collision, and fans and players gave him a standing ovation as he left the field.
- On Thursday, New York Mets first baseman Jared Young was stretchered off the field at Citi Field during the sixth inning after colliding with starting pitcher Nolan McLean against the Philadelphia Phillies.
- Converging on a slow groundball hit by Phillies outfielder Justin Crawford, both Young and McLean collided when McLean's knee inadvertently struck Young in the head as he dove to field the ball.
- Young remained motionless on the infield dirt for about 10 minutes while trainers and EMTs stabilized his neck; Mets and Phillies players looked on in shock from the field and dugouts.
- Alert and wearing a neck brace, Young gave a thumbs-up to the crowd as he was carted off, with the team confirming he has feeling in his extremities before transport to a hospital.
- The 31-year-old established himself as a regular first baseman this season, hitting.266 with nine homers and 39 RBIs in 103 games before this injury, which forced Mark Vientos to replace him.
