Jonah Tong

The Mets are optioning Jonah Tong to Triple-A Syracuse.

Fantasy Impact

Tong pitched in a bulk relief role on Tuesday against the Mariners. He will return to Triple-A with Kodai Senga potentially returning from the injured list soon.

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.

Fantasy Impact

Tong threw 54 of 83 pitches for strikes and recorded 10 outs in Tuesday's outing, allowing five runs — four earned — on five hits and two walks while striking out four in the 3.1-inning loss to Seattle.

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.

Fantasy Impact

He dealt with traffic on the bases in every inning but worked through it to keep New York ahead, finishing with 3.2 innings of one unearned run on three hits and four walks while striking out one to earn the win.

Jonah Tong will make a bulk relief appearance on Wednesday against the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

Tong threw three hitless innings with a pair of strikeouts in his season debut against the Marlins last Friday. He will pitch behind opener Huascar Brazobán on Wednesday.

Jonah Tong is expected to pitch again on Wednesday against the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

Tong tossed three scoreless innings in his season debut on Friday. He'll likely pitch in a similar role on Wednesday.
