Overview
- The Mets optioned left-hander Jefry Yan to Triple-A Syracuse after Saturday’s game and recalled right-hander Tobias Myers in a corresponding roster move.
- New York recalled top pitching prospect Jonah Tong and announced he will start Monday’s game in Miami while right-hander Justin Hagenman was optioned back to Triple-A.
- Bo Bichette delivered a go-ahead three-run homer in the eighth inning against the San Francisco Giants on Sept. 6 that turned a 2-0 deficit into a 4-2 Mets win.
- The club cited Yan’s control problems as the reason for his demotion, noting he walked 11 batters in about 12 2/3 innings and finished with a 5.68 ERA, prompting a return to Syracuse to work on command.
- With the Mets at 65-78 and effectively out of the postseason and the Marlins at 72-72 still chasing a Wild Card, the moves are both short-term adjustments and longer-term auditions for rotation and bullpen roles in 2027.
