Jonah Tong Called Up to Mets, Will Start Monday in Miami
The Mets are calling up Jonah Tong and slotting him into the rotation for Monday's start in Miami, per Matthew Ritchie of MLB.com.
Jonah Tong is heading back to the big leagues, with the Mets announcing he will start Monday in Miami, per Matthew Ritchie of MLB.com.
The move lands roughly where the organization telegraphed it would. Earlier in the week, reports had Tong under discussion for a call-up as early as the Miami series — and that discussion has now resolved in his favor.
What we don't know yet
The source material does not detail what roster move accompanies the call-up, nor does it specify any timetable beyond Monday's start. Whether Tong remains in the rotation past that appearance is unconfirmed.
The Mets have been active on the pitching staff in recent days. Justin Hagenman was activated from the 60-day IL for a spot start, and Dylan Ross was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse for his MLB debut as part of September roster expansion. Tong's return adds another arm to a group that has been shuffled with some regularity.
Nolan McLean, who posted a 2.10 ERA in August and holds a 3.06 ERA across 27 starts this season, anchors the rotation heading into the final stretch. Tong's Monday assignment in Miami is the next thing to watch.
