News
	The Mets are optioning Jonah Tong to Triple-A Syracuse. Ari Koslow Wed, Jun 3rd	Michael Lorenzen allowed six earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five over 3 2/3 innings in Tuesday’s win over the Nationals. Chris Schommer Wed, Jul 22nd
	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	Michael Lorenzen allowed one earned run on five hits and three walks while striking out one over five innings in a 3-1 loss to the Giants. Chris Schommer Sun, Jul 12th
	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	Michael Lorenzen allowed two earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings in Tuesday’s win over the Dodgers. Chris Schommer Wed, Jul 8th
	Jonah Tong will make a bulk relief appearance on Wednesday against the Reds. Ari Koslow Tue, May 26th	Michael Lorenzen allowed four earned runs on four hits and six walks while striking out one over 4 1/3 innings in Thursday's win over the Marlins. Chris Schommer Fri, Jul 3rd
	Jonah Tong is expected to pitch again on Wednesday against the Reds. Ari Koslow Sat, May 23rd	Michael Lorenzen allowed two earned runs on seven hits while striking out one over 5 2/3 innings in Saturday's win over the Twins. Chris Schommer Sun, Jun 28th
