News
	Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease allowed five runs (three earned) on seven hits across six innings while taking the loss against the Rays on Monday. Brenton Kemp Tue, Jul 21st	The Mets are optioning Jonah Tong to Triple-A Syracuse. Ari Koslow Wed, Jun 3rd
	Dylan Cease will start for the American League in the All-Star game. Ari Koslow Sun, Jul 12th	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
	Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease pitched eight innings of shutout ball, allowing just one hit and three walks while striking out 11 in a win over the Giants on Wednesday. Brenton Kemp Thu, Jul 9th	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
	Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease pitched seven shutout innings while striking out nine to earn the win over the Mariners on Friday. Brenton Kemp Sat, Jul 4th	Jonah Tong will make a bulk relief appearance on Wednesday against the Reds. Ari Koslow Tue, May 26th
	Dylan Cease allowed four earned runs on four hits and five walks while striking out 10 over 4 2/3 innings in Saturday's loss to the Rangers. Chris Schommer Sun, Jun 28th	Jonah Tong is expected to pitch again on Wednesday against the Reds. Ari Koslow Sat, May 23rd
