Jonah Tong Opens Triple-A Season With Four Scoreless for Syracuse

Overview

• Syracuse’s top pitching prospect Jonah Tong helped the club beat Worcester 3-1 on Friday at Polar Park with four shutout innings.
• He allowed one hit with two walks and four strikeouts and threw 73 pitches with 42 strikes.
• Tong was the 2025 MiLB Pitching Prospect of the Year and is MLB Pipeline’s No. 48 overall prospect and third in the Mets system.
• Catcher Ben Rortvedt and utility player Vidal Bruján cleared waivers and were outrighted to Syracuse, keeping them in the organization as depth.
• Left-hander Bryan Hudson was claimed off waivers by the White Sox after a recent DFA, trimming the Mets’ lefty relief options as rosters settle.
