Jonah Tong assigned to Syracuse's Triple-A affiliate.

Wednesday saw the New York Mets exercise their option, assigning Jonah Tong to Syracuse's Triple-A affiliate.

On June 3, the New York Mets exercised their option to assign Jonah Tong to Syracuse's Triple-A affiliate, while recalling Joey Gerber from that team on Wednesday.

The Mets' depleted bullpen may receive a boost from Gerber, following a taxing series where they utilized six pitchers in a 3-2 defeat against Seattle on Monday and another four in their subsequent 8-3 loss to the Mariners on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, Jonah Tong faced scrutiny for his performance. In 3 1/3 innings of relief, the 22-year-old Canadian surrendered four earned and five total runs, with five hits, one being a home run.

Jonah Tong's performance has slipped to 1-1, boasting a 3.60 ERA across his three recent relief outings locally.

Jonah Tong was selected by the Mets in the seventh round of the 2022 MLB Draft, making his debut in recent times with a mixed performance.

In just one outing for New York this season, Gerber impressed with a strikeout total of five batters, pitching two flawless innings of relief in a game that ended in a tie against the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 13.

Tong has a record of 1-1 and an 8.22 ERA across 14 contests, including one outing as a starter.
