The Mets are adding another young arm to their postseason push, calling up top prospect Jonah Tong. Here is what to know.

All-Star closer Edwin Díaz rescued Helsley by retiring the next five Phillies batters — four on strikeouts. New York recovered to win 6-5 on Brandon Nimmo's game-ending RBI single in the ninth, but Helsley's troubles are a major concern as the Mets fight for a playoff spot with 30 games remaining this season.

Will Edwin Díaz play out the final two years on his contract for the New York Mets? One insider gives his take.

The Mets are calling up Tong, a phenom rocketing through their system who made just two starts with Triple-A Syracuse, while leaving Sproat (at least for now) in Syracuse, with whom he has pitched in 25 games.

For the Mets, what was beautiful was the breadth of contributions. Tyrone Taylor reached four times. Luis Torrens broke the game open with a three-run homer in the seventh, just his third of the season. He drove in five on the night, matching his total over the previous 106 days.

Tong has been on a meteoric rise in 2025. According to MLB.com’s stats, between Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Syracuse he posted a combined 10–5 record with a 1.43 ERA across 22 starts, while leading all of Minor League Baseball with 179 strikeouts over 113 2/3 innings.
