The Mets recalled Tong from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.
Tong is set to make his first start for the Mets this season Monday in Miami, and he's a good bet to receive additional starts down the stretch of the regular season. The right-hander has logged a pedestrian 4.54 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 126:59 K:BB over 107 innings with Syracuse this season, but he held a 2.39 ERA in August and was scoreless over his last two outings.
