For a Mets offense struggling to score runs and without Brandon Nimmo due to a stiff neck, the club reached down to Triple-A Syracuse, called up Jared Young and plugged him right into the lineup

After Mark Vientos was scratched from the lineup before Friday night’s series opener against the Dodgers with left abdominal discomfort and Brandon Nimmo had to come out in the third inning of the 13-inning loss due to a stiff neck, the Mets were looking at some serious questions about whether either would be able to play Saturday night.

The Mets removed Mark Vientos from the lineup about an hour before first pitch, with the third baseman dealing with abdominal soreness.
