Mets Place Jared Young on 10-Day Injured List With Meniscus Tear
The New York Mets announced on Wednesday that they placed infielder/outfielder Jared Young (knee) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 13) with a left meniscus tear. In a corresponding move, the Mets recalled outfielder MJ Melendez from Triple-A Syracuse. Young will need to have surgery, which could keep him out for the rest of the first half of the season. The 30-year-old was taking advantage of extra opportunities early in the year in New York with star outfielder Juan Soto (calf) on the IL, and he was hitting .350 (7-for-20) with two RBI and two runs scored in 11 games before his knee injury on Tuesday. With Young now out, both Brett Baty and Mark Vientos should see even more playing time between the outfield and first base, at least until Soto returns. Baty is off to a cold start, hitting .218 (12-for-55) with no homers, while Vientos is batting .227 (10-for-44) with a homer and five RBI in his 14 games played for the Mets.
