News
	Nick Lodolo is expected to attempt to throw a bullpen on Wednesday. Ari Koslow Tue, Jul 21st	The Mets are optioning Jonah Tong to Triple-A Syracuse. Ari Koslow Wed, Jun 3rd
	The Reds placed Nick Lodolo on the 15-day injured list. 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
	Nick Lodolo exited Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs in the sixth inning due to a blister on his left index finger. Nicholas Rodriguez Sat, Jul 11th	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
	Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo pitched six innings, allowing one earned run on six hits and two walks while earning the win over the Orioles on Sunday. Brenton Kemp Mon, Jul 6th	Jonah Tong will make a bulk relief appearance on Wednesday against the Reds. Ari Koslow Tue, May 26th
	Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo pitched five scoreless innings but was tagged with a no-decision on Monday against the Brewers. Brenton Kemp Tue, Jun 30th	Jonah Tong is expected to pitch again on Wednesday against the Reds. Ari Koslow Sat, May 23rd
