Mets first baseman Jared Young was carted off the field on a stretcher during the sixth inning of Thursday night's game against Philadelphia after colliding with pitcher Nolan McLean on a play at first base. According to ESPN, the two converged on Justin Crawford's slow grounder when McLean accidentally struck Young in the head.
Young appeared to be momentarily knocked out on the play, per reporting. He was placed on a backboard and removed from the field. CBS Sports reported that Young gave a thumbs up as he was taken off, and the Mets said he had feeling in his extremities. The team took him to a hospital, though the specific facility and extent of his injuries were not disclosed in available reporting.
