New York Mets relief pitcher Danny Young of Boynton Beach, Florida will be having Tommy John Surgery according to Nick Deeds of MLB Trade Rumors on Sunday. As a result, Young will miss the remainder of the 2025 Major League Baseball regular season.
Not pitched in nine days
Young last pitched for the Mets on April 26. He picked up the hold by pitching a very good sixth inning where he struck out three and gave up one hit in a 2-0 Mets win over the Washington Nationals.
According to John Sporaco of Sports Illustrated, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza stated that Young was dealing with forearm pain for a “few weeks” and he was having difficulty recovering. Tests determined that Young had a sprained ligament in his elbow and that surgery was required.
