Overview

  • Beat reporting indicates Jonah Tong has entered internal discussions for a major-league role, reflecting a recent change in organizational stance.
  • Tong followed a 5.2-inning, nine-strikeout scoreless Triple-A debut with six more scoreless frames and eight strikeouts against Indianapolis, giving him a reported 1.50 ERA across Double-A and Triple-A.
  • The reassessment comes after Frankie Montas suffered a season-ending UCL injury and as rookie Nolan McLean delivered two strong big-league starts.
  • Kodai Senga is slated to start on four days’ rest on Monday, a choice that preserves the current five-man rotation and delays a possible Brandon Sproat debut.
  • No Mets promotion for Tong has been announced, and all indications of his potential call-up stem from local beat coverage rather than an official team decision.
