Overview

  • Jonah Tong threw six scoreless innings with eight strikeouts for Triple-A Syracuse in a 4-0 win over Indianapolis on Aug. 24, extending his Triple-A scoreless streak to more than 11 innings.
  • Mike Puma of the New York Post reported that Tong’s name is now entering the conversation for a major-league promotion this season.
  • Tong has dominated across two levels this year, with outlets citing a combined Double-A and Triple-A ERA around 1.50.
  • Rotation issues have intensified the search for help, with Sean Manaea struggling and Frankie Montas on the injured list after a bullpen demotion, while Kodai Senga’s recent form has been uneven.
  • Team president David Stearns is described as preferring to open a rotation spot that gives a prospect multiple starts, and Brandon Sproat’s recent surge keeps him in consideration behind Tong.
