| Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed zero earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out 10 over 5.1 innings in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Phillies. Chase Davis Mon, Jun 1st | The Mets are optioning Jonah Tong to Triple-A Syracuse. Ari Koslow Wed, Jun 3rd | |
| Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed one earned run on seven hits and one walk while striking out three over seven innings in Sunday's win over the Brewers. Chase Davis Mon, May 25th | 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 | |
| Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out eight over seven innings in Monday's loss to the Padres. Chase Davis Tue, May 19th | 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 | |
| Yoshinobu Yamamoto had his command but not his usual results in Tuesday's loss to the Giants. Jesse Garcia Wed, May 13th | Jonah Tong will make a bulk relief appearance on Wednesday against the Reds. Ari Koslow Tue, May 26th | |
| Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed three earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out eight over six innings in Monday's 8-3 win over the Astros. Chase Davis Tue, May 5th | Jonah Tong is expected to pitch again on Wednesday against the Reds. Ari Koslow Sat, May 23rd | |
| Notes | ||
| Yoshinobu Yamamoto followed up his MLB debut with a strong 2025, flashing elite command and swing-and-miss ability even as his workload was managed. That, however, went out the window when he threw 37 1/3 postseason innings, bringing his total to 210 in 2025. His 2026 projections show maintained excellent ratios and strikeout efficiency. The biggest knock against Yamamoto is that he pitches for the Dodgers, who have a deep enough staff to go with a six-man rotation or rest elite starters down the stretch (fantasy playoffs) if they wish. In any case, Yamamoto profiles as a high-end fantasy starter whose value is anchored in ratios. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | ||
