News
	Paul Skenes allowed five runs on seven hits over four innings with seven strikeouts and four walks in a no-decision on Friday against the Reds. Ari Koslow Sat, Aug 1st	The Mets are optioning Jonah Tong to Triple-A Syracuse. Ari Koslow Wed, Jun 3rd
	Paul Skenes allowed five runs on six hits over 5 1/3 innings with 11 strikeouts and two walks in a loss on Saturday against the Cubs. Ari Koslow Sun, Jul 26th	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
	Paul Skenes allowed one run on seven hits over seven innings with eight strikeouts and two walks in a win on Sunday against the Guardians. Ari Koslow Mon, Jul 20th	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
	Paul Skenes will start on Sunday against the Guardians. Ari Koslow Wed, Jul 15th	Jonah Tong will make a bulk relief appearance on Wednesday against the Reds. Ari Koslow Tue, May 26th
	Paul Skenes allowed two runs on three hits over 5 1/3 innings with seven strikeouts and one walk in a win on Sunday against the Brewers. Ari Koslow Mon, Jul 13th	Jonah Tong is expected to pitch again on Wednesday against the Reds. Ari Koslow Sat, May 23rd
