The Mets placed Young on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to Monday, due to a meniscus tear in his left knee. Young reported discomfort in his left knee Tuesday, and further imaging revealed a more severe injury that will result in the 30-year-old undergoing surgery, per Will Sammon of The Athletic. It's a significant blow to the Mets' depth at first base and in the outfield, especially with Juan Soto (calf) still on the 10-day IL. Young is looking at a lengthy absence depending on the extent of the surgery needed to repair the tear, which could have him sidelined until the summer.

Jared Young: Breaking News
Dealing with knee discomfort
Young reported discomfort in his left knee Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. The Mets sent Young in for imaging on his knee, and they will wait until they get the results back before determining if he'll go on the injured list. The 30-year-old has done well while helping to fill the void left by Juan Soto (calf), going 7-for-20 at the plate with two RBI and two runs scored in his first 11 games.
Three hits in win Sunday
Young went 3-for-3 with a double in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Giants. It was Young's fourth start of the season, and he figures to get regular at-bats against right-handed pitching while Juan Soto (calf) is sidelined. Soto remains day-to-day but missed the final two games of the series against the Giants. Young is slashing .385/.467/.538 with a pair of doubles, one RBI, two runs scored and a 2:2 BB:K across 15 plate appearances this season.
