Jared Young of Prince George gets set to pitch for the New York Mets against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday, June 15, 2025 at Citi Field in New York. The Mets have once again called up the 30-year-old Prince George native from triple-A Syracuse.

Jared Young is a New York Met once again.

How’s that for a birthday present?

On Friday, a day after he celebrated his 30th birthday, the Prince George native learned the Mets wanted him back on the 26-player roster and rejoined the Mets in Kansas City, where they face the Royals this weekend.

The move came after outfielder Jesse Winkler was placed on the 10-day injured list with a back injury.

Young started the season with Syracuse but was  sidelined with a leg injury from spring training.  After a four-game injury assignment at single-A St. Lucie he played 22 games for Syracuse and hit .259 with 10 extra-base hits, including five home runs, collecting 21 RBI.

He was called up to New York in May and played 17 games before being sent back to Syracuse June 27. Filling the designated hitter role for all but one game, in 41 MLB at-bats Young had seven hits, including three home runs and a double and four RBI while hitting .171 with a .642 OPS.

Young has been hitting well with Syracuse, playing mostly in the infield. In 32 triple-A games this season he has 31 hits, including five doubles and eight home runs, totaling 26 RBI for a .272 batting average and .914 OPS.
