A frightening moment in Queens Thursday night as Mets first baseman Jared Young was carted off the field in the sixth inning after pitcher Nolan McLean accidentally struck him in the head while both converged on a slow grounder. Young was taken to the hospital, but delivered a thumbs-up to the crowd on his way out, and his catcher was seen in apparent prayer at the plate — a moment that stopped everyone cold.
Meanwhile, the Mets' farm system is giving the organization something to feel good about. Top prospect Jefferson Rojas is absolutely on fire at Triple-A, launching his third home run in just his third game at that level. The blast came in the third inning with the game knotted at seven, a three-hundred sixty-four foot shot off a first-pitch slider. This kid is not slowing down.
Shifting to the NFL, the Buffalo Bills are dealing with a rough afternoon on the injury front. Wide receiver Keon Coleman went down in the second quarter against the Detroit Lions, and DJ Moore is questionable to return after hurting his shoulder. Buffalo's receiving corps is getting thinner by the drive.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
