Jared Young Hospitalized After Head Collision, Concussion Symptoms Confirmed
The Mets first baseman was knocked out during a 6th-inning play and carted off the field; a CT scan came back negative but his season is effectively over.
Mets first baseman Jared Young was knocked unconscious after a collision with pitcher Nolan McLean during the sixth inning of a Mets-Phillies game at Citi Field. Young was transported to a hospital for evaluation, where a CT scan returned negative results. Interim manager Andy Green confirmed Young has full use of his extremities but is experiencing real concussion symptoms. Even a minimal concussion IL stint would keep Young out through the final weekend of the season, effectively ending his 2026 campaign.
