Why Mets are sending Jonah Tong back down to Triple-A despite 3.60 ERA
Joey Gerber gives New York a fresh bullpen arm after six pitchers were used in Monday’s extra-inning loss, officials said.
- The New York Mets optioned right-hander Jonah Tong to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, recalling righty Joey Gerber to bolster their bullpen before their series finale against the Seattle Mariners.
- Manager Carlos Mendoza needed a fresh arm after using six pitchers in Monday's 3-2 extra-inning loss and four in Tuesday's game, as Tong allowed four earned runs in 3.1 innings.
- "We need to see consistency with him throwing strikes," Mendoza said Wednesday, noting command issues for the 22-year-old ranked 35th in MLB Pipeline who must spend at least 15 days in the minors.
- Senga is scheduled to throw 85 pitches in a rehab start today, positioning him to rejoin the rotation next week alongside locked starters Freddy Peralta, Nolan McLean, and Christian Scott.
- With a pair of off days sandwiching an upcoming series against San Diego, the Mets won't need a fifth starter until late next week; management could consider David Peterson or Zach Thornton for bulk relief roles.
