Background
New York Mets first baseman Jared Young was hospitalised following a collision with Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Nolan McLean during a game at Citi Field. The incident occurred in the top of the sixth inning when McLean’s knee struck Young’s head while both players scrambled for a grounder at first base. Manager Andy Green attributed the collision to a "bit of miscommunication" between the fielders. Young, 31, has been a productive player this season, hitting .266/.330/.429 with nine home runs and 39 RBI. He has secured regular playing time following Pete Alonso’s departure and Jorge Polanco’s time on the injured list. The Mets are currently 36-53, having suffered a 12-game losing streak in April which led to the firing of manager Carlos Mendoza. Andy Green is serving as interim manager and is expected to return to the front office next year.
