Young sustained head and facial impacts and was taken to a hospital, though team officials confirmed he has feeling in his extremities.
As McLean rushed to cover the bag, his leg violently struck Young in the head and face while both players converged on the play.

Young lay motionless on the turf for an extended period as athletic trainers and Mets manager Andy Green rushed from the dugout to assist him. Players from both teams watched anxiously, with Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez appearing to pray while Phillies third baseman Bohm took a knee near third base.
Medical personnel secured Young onto a stretcher and brought out a medical cart. As he left the field, Young flashed a thumbs-up to the crowd, offering a reassuring sign of consciousness that was noted across local broadcast coverage from ABC7 New York.

Following his departure, the Mets announced that Young was transported to a local hospital for further medical evaluation. The club shared an encouraging update via social media indicating that Young has feeling in his extremities,

He entered the game batting .266 with a .759 OPS, nine home runs, and 39 RBIs over 103 games played this season. If his recovery timeline permits, the club views him as a strong candidate to reclaim his role at first base next season.
