The Mets, facing a scoring struggle without outfielder Brandon Nimmo, called up Jared Young from Triple-A Syracuse. Young, a left-handed hitter, was particularly suited to face the Dodgers' right-hander Tony Gonsolin. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity, highlighting the significance of being recognized for his talent after a successful stint in Triple-A and a season in South Korea. Young chose to join the Mets due to their appeal as a winning team. His recall led to the designation of José Azocar and impacted Ronny Mauricio, who is still recovering from injury.
Getting the call and making the drive in is always a special feeling,'' said Young, who played 22 games in the majors with the Cubs in 2022 and '23. "It's a good thing. It shows that they believe in the player I am and you feel like everything you've been doing has been for a reason."
It was great. I enjoyed it. It was another place to play ball and a chance to play really well and show I can play at any level that I've been thrown at for any extended amount of time.''
He had other minor league offers this past offseason and chose the Mets because of the 'fit' and 'allure' of playing with a winning organization.
The move to recall the 29-year-old Young after designating outfielder José Azocar for assignment came at the expense of Ronny Mauricio, who started at third base for Triple-A Syracuse.
