The New York Mets have placed first baseman Jared Young on the seven-day concussion IL and recalled infielder Ronny Mauricio to take his roster spot. Young sustained the concussion Thursday night during an on-field collision, per multiple outlets. According to one account, Young and pitcher Nolan McLean collided while both attempting to field a ground ball, with McLean's knee striking Young's head at full force, apparently knocking him unconscious. Young left the game on a stretcher.
There is conflicting information about Young's availability going forward. Most outlets report Young was placed on the seven-day concussion IL. However, ESPN reported that Young will miss the rest of the Mets' season due to the concussion. The other outlets do not specify whether the seven-day IL assignment is expected to be temporary or precautionary. Young was home resting and recovering Friday, per ESPN's report.
