Set for Tommy John surgery
The Mets transferred Young (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
Analysis
According to Will Sammon of The Athletic, Young is slated to undergo Tommy John surgery in the near future, which will end his season and likely keep him out until the second half of the 2026 campaign. By shifting him to the 60-day IL, the Mets were able to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Blade Tidwell, who was called up from Triple-A Syracuse to start the first game of Sunday's doubleheader in St. Louis. Before being shut down in late April with the elbow injury, Young had been a key piece in the New York bullpen, gathering four holds while pitching to a 4.32 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB across 8.1 innings in 10 appearances.

May require TJ surgery
Manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday that Young may need to undergo Tommy John surgery, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Young landed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a sprained left elbow, but he now may be at risk of missing the rest of the season plus a significant portion of the 2026 campaign. The Mets will know more about how to properly handle the southpaw's injury within the next few days, but he's likely facing an extended absence even if he doesn't undergo surgery.

Placed on IL
The Mets placed Young on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a left elbow sprain.
Analysis
Young has surrendered five runs (four earned) over 8.1 innings this season, but he seems to have come away from his most recent outing Saturday with an elbow injury. He'll now take at least the next couple of weeks to heal. Chris Devenski will come up from Triple-A Syracuse to give the Mets a fresh arm in the bullpen.
