News
	Chris Sale allowed three runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out six over 5 2/3 innings in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Blue Jays. Nate Miller - FantasyPros Fri, Jun 5th	The Mets are optioning Jonah Tong to Triple-A Syracuse. Ari Koslow Wed, Jun 3rd
	Chris Sale allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out eight over five innings in Thursday's 10-2 win over the Red Sox. Nate Miller - FantasyPros Thu, May 28th	Senga (back) could return from the injured list as soon as next week, leaving Tong without a guaranteed major-league spot. The Mets could shift him to the bullpen for a longer look against big-league hitters. Across three bulk-relief assignments this season, Tong has a 3.60 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and 7:7 K:BB over 10 innings, with walks limiting his ability to work deep into games. Bruno Mulé Wed, Jun 3rd
	Chris Sale gave up just one run on four hits and no walks while striking out eight over seven innings in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Marlins. Nate Miller - FantasyPros Thu, May 21st	Senga (back) is expected to return to the Mets' rotation soon, which could push Tong back to Triple-A, where he struggled earlier this season. Tong entered Wednesday as a bulk reliever behind opener Huascar Brazoban, who threw one inning, in his second such appearance of the year. Bruno Mulé Thu, May 28th
	Chris Sale allowed one unearned run on five hits and two walks while striking out eight over six innings in Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Cubs. Nate Miller - FantasyPros Fri, May 15th	Jonah Tong will make a bulk relief appearance on Wednesday against the Reds. Ari Koslow Tue, May 26th
	Chris Sale allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and no walks while striking out seven across seven innings in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Dodgers. Nate Miller - FantasyPros Sat, May 9th	Jonah Tong is expected to pitch again on Wednesday against the Reds. Ari Koslow Sat, May 23rd
Notes
	Chris Sale was absolutely cruising along in 2025, looking like a Cy Young candidate, before a fractured rib injury put him on the shelf from mid-June until the end of August. In 125 2/3 innings, he had a 2.58 ERA with 165 strikeouts and a 1.07 WHIP. His 32.4% strikeout rate and 5.16 K/BB rate remained elite, even in his age-36 season. It can be hard to trust power pitchers into their late 30s, but his return in August showed no lingering effects of the rib injury or indicated a pitcher on the decline. Sale is worthy of SP1 consideration, and fantasy managers can reasonably expect him to throw around 160+ innings at age 37. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
