News
	The Mets are optioning Jonah Tong to Triple-A Syracuse. Ari Koslow Wed, Jun 3rd	AJ Smith-Shawver threw 86 pitches over four innings for Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday. Ari Koslow Fri, Jul 24th
	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	AJ Smith-Shawver threw 4 1/3 scoreless innings for Triple-A Gwinnett in a rehab start Saturday. Ari Koslow Sat, Jul 18th
	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	AJ Smith-Shawver threw 41 pitches over three innings during a rehab start with Single-A Augusta on Tuesday. Ari Koslow Tue, Jun 30th
	Jonah Tong will make a bulk relief appearance on Wednesday against the Reds. Ari Koslow Tue, May 26th	AJ Smith-Shawver (elbow) is set to begin a rehab assignment on Thursday. Nate Miller - FantasyPros Wed, Jun 24th
	Jonah Tong is expected to pitch again on Wednesday against the Reds. Ari Koslow Sat, May 23rd	Braves manager Walt Weiss said AJ Smith-Shawver is coming along well in his rehab. Ari Koslow Fri, May 22nd
