Mets First Baseman Jared Young Hospitalized After Collision, Undergoes Testing

Jared Young was stretchered off after colliding with Phillies pitcher Nolan McLean and was taken to the hospital for examinations; initial tests were positive, though he has short-term memory loss and headaches, and Mark Vientos finished the game at first base. The 2026 season has seen Young contribute solid numbers (nine homers, 17 doubles, 39 RBI, and a .266/.330/.429 slash), and Mets officials will monitor his health as they navigate the rest of their campaign.

Urquidy Comes Off Waivers to Bolster Phillies for Friday’s Mets Start

The Phillies claimed Jose Urquidy off waivers and plan to have him pitch Friday against the Mets as a bulk-innings option in a bullpen-style start, filling a rotation hole created by Jesús Luzardo’s shoulder injury; Urquidy, 31, isn’t postseason eligible but will eat innings, while Andrew Painter rests and Caleb Kilian was moved to the 60-day injured list to clear roster space.

Jared Young Regains Full Use of Limbs After Harrowing Mets-Phillies Collision

During a Mets-Phillies game, Jared Young was knocked unconscious in a collision with pitcher Nolan McLean while covering first base. He was taken to hospital, where a CT scan was negative but he is dealing with concussion symptoms; interim manager Andy Green said Young has full use of his extremities. The injury is expected to end his season, with further evaluation in the coming days. At 31, Young had posted a .266/.330/.429 line with nine homers this season and could compete for an Opening Day role next year if he recovers.

Orioles edge closer to a playoff push amid injury woes after Mets sweep

The Orioles completed a 7-1 win over the Mets to sweep the series, but two big injuries threaten their postseason hopes: Jackson Holliday was placed on the 10-day IL with a left wrist inflammation (likely ending his season) and Kyle Bradish was diagnosed with a sports hernia. Baltimore still has a glimmer of hope thanks to a head-to-head tiebreaker over the White Sox, but must run the table with remaining series vs. the Brewers, Blue Jays, and Yankees to challenge the Rangers and Jays for a wild-card spot.

Mets Frustration Grows as Alonso's Citi Field Return Hits 300th Homer

Pete Alonso's ninth-inning homer tied the game as the Orioles beat the Mets 7-5 in 11 innings at Citi Field; in his first return to Citi Field as a visitor, Alonso hit his 300th career homer there, while Mets starter Sean Manaea said fans' reactions to an opposing homer were 'crazy to me' and Alonso seemed to relish the moment. Francisco Lindor urged fans to also show love to rookie pitcher Jonah Tong, who walked Alonso earlier. Interim manager Andy Green stressed that external noise should not affect performance. The Mets sit near the NL East cellar, and attendance over the first two games against Baltimore reached 63,097, the club's best two-game home stretch since Aug. 18-19 vs Padres.

Mets' Winter Fix: Turning 2026 Disappointment Into a 2027 Turnaround

Mets' Winter Fix: Turning 2026 Disappointment Into a 2027 Turnaround

The New York Mets, despite a high payroll, underperformed in 2026 and were eliminated from postseason contention, with an ill-starred offseason helping sink the year. While late-season improvements and bright spots from rookies Nolan McLean, Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing offered hope, the infield defense regressed dramatically and positional moves for veterans like Bichette, Lindor, Polanco and Semien didn’t pay off. The piece argues Stearns must fix the infield defense, explore adding a top starter such as Tarik Skubal, and consider extensions with the young core amid a potentially shortened offseason under the new CBA. If the Mets can land an ace and shore up defense, they could set a steadier path toward a 2027 contention window.

Orioles Nab Luis Robert Jr. on Waivers, Bolstering Center Field

The Orioles claimed Luis Robert Jr. off waivers from the Mets, taking on his remaining roughly $3M salary plus a $2M buyout on next year’s option; New York saves about $6.3M in the deal. Robert, a once-dynamic five-tool outfielder prone to injuries, is hitting .233/.303/.399 with 10 homers in 218 plate appearances this season and could boost Baltimore’s late-season push, joining Leody Taveras, Colton Cowser and Dylan Beavers in the outfield, with Nick Morabito being recalled to help fill the roster for New York.
