Young’s Wall Collision & Recovery

It's June 21st, I'm Corey with the story. This is Washington Nationals News Today, driven by AI and built for fans. So, National Center fielder Jacob Young took a pretty hard spill Saturday. He ran full speed into the Tropicana Field wall, trying to make a catch in the eighth inning.
He actually made the catch, which is wild, but then he hit the wall hard and went down. He was feeling it for sure. Said his right rib cage was sore and tight. The manager, Blake Butera, said he was available off the bench yesterday, so it sounds like he dodged a bullet. Young himself said he thought he was closer to the wall when he jumped. Instead, he landed and then ran into it, which apparently made the collision way worse.
Still, he was just stoked to make the play in a big moment. He mentioned it wasn't the best catch he's ever made, but it was definitely his hardest collision with a wall. He's just playing it by ear, basically a pain tolerance thing for when he's back in the lineup.
Sounds like he's got that gamer mentality, though, willing to put his body on the line for the team. Hopefully, that rib cage heals up quick.
