Corey Pieper breaks down a scary injury update from Citi Field, a slate of key bullpen and rotation activations, the Friday Pitching Planner segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day.

The health and transaction wire delivered major news as Jared Young suffered a concussion during a jarring collision with pitcher Nolan McLean, though initial CT scans came back negative. On the recovery front, relief ace Devin Williams could be activated from the injured list shortly, while starter Josiah Gray has officially been activated.

On the diamond, standout efforts in the studs column featured Mason Montgomery, Kyle Tucker, Drew Rasmussen, Chandler Simpson, Michael King, Jeremy Pena, Yordan Alvarez, Sonny Gray, Lawrence Butler continuing his dominant second-half surge, Aaron Nola dueling Nolan McLean, and Walbert Urena matching up against Taj Bradley. On the flip side, Kyle Harrison, Brady Singer, Jeffrey Springs, Nick Gonzales going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, Elly De La Cruz going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, Zac Veen going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, and Brandon Nimmo finishing 0-for-4 with three strikeouts all struggled into the duds section.
