What happened: Jared Young will miss the rest of the season after the collision with Nolan McLean, though MLB.com said he avoided a more serious injury. The play at Citi Field involved Nolan McLean, and Young was carted away after taking a knee to the head.

Why it matters: The update turns an immediate medical scare into a season-ending roster loss in the final stretch of the 2026 regular season. It also leaves Young's club needing a replacement plan while attention shifts from the initial trauma of the collision to the games he will miss.

What to watch: Watch for the corresponding roster move and any detail on how Young's vacated spot will be covered down the stretch.
