Mets recall Jonah Tong and option Justin Hagenman to Triple-A Syracuse

The New York Mets recalled pitcher Jonah Tong from Triple-A Syracuse on September 7 to start against the Miami Marlins. This move follows the club's decision to option reliever Justin Hagenman to Triple-A. Tong enters the game with three previous appearances for the major league club this season, including a mix of bullpen work and starts behind an opener. He has shown improvement in his recent Triple-A starts, delivering 12 and two-thirds innings of work with nine strikeouts and no earned runs allowed. Hagenman returns to the minor leagues after making two appearances for the Mets last week, including a start against the Tampa Bay Rays and a relief stint against the San Francisco Giants. The Mets look to stabilize their rotation with Tong’s return as the team navigates the final stretch of the season.
