Tong will remain in the Mets rotation during the upcoming week and is set to make his next start Friday in Cincinnati.

The young right-hander cruised to an easy win in his MLB debut, striking out six batters while allowing four runs (one earned) on six hits and no walks in the Mets' 19-9 rout of the Marlins on Friday. Tong led the minors with 179 punchouts prior to his promotion, but whether the top prospect sticks in the rotation throughout September could hinge on how he performs at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park, as Tylor Megill (elbow) is in the midst of a rehab assignment and could be ready to return from the 60-day injured list the next time the Mets would need a sixth starter. The team could also keep spots open in a six-man rotation for both Tong and Megill by moving Clay Holmes to the bullpen, as Holmes has already more than doubled his innings count from 2024 while he serves as a full-time starter for the first time since 2018.

Pivetta didn't factor into the decision against the Twins on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings.

Pivetta was steady through the early frames before serving up a two-run homer to Byron Buxton in the fifth that accounted for most of the damage against him. The long ball has been a recurring issue lately, as Pivetta has now surrendered a home run in five of his last six starts. Still, it was just the second time in the right-hander's last 12 outings that he's allowed more than two runs, a stretch in which he's posted a stellar 2.06 ERA and a 76:18 K:BB across 70 innings. Pivetta is slated to face the Rockies in his next scheduled outing.

Rodriguez (6-8) allowed four hits and four walks while striking out four over six scoreless innings to earn the win Saturday over the Dodgers.

Rodriguez wasn't exactly stingy in this performance, but he was effective enough to avoid letting the high number of walks burn him. The southpaw had posted a 22:17 K:BB over 32.1 innings across his six starts in August while allowing 17 runs, though he was able to sprinkle in a couple of quality starts in that span. Rodriguez has a 5.40 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 120:51 K:BB through 125 innings over 24 starts this season. He's projected to face one of his former teams, the Red Sox, in a home start for his next outing.

Glasnow (1-3) allowed three runs on four hits and struck out six without walking a batter over seven innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.

Glasnow threw 65 of 100 pitches for strikes in this outing, which was his first without issuing a walk all season. He traded zeroes with Eduardo Rodriguez until the seventh inning, when Arizona was able to put up all three of the runs on Glasnow's line. He hadn't completed six frames in any of his last three starts. On the year, Glasnow has a 3.41 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 81:32 K:BB through 68.2 innings over 14 starts. He's lined up to make his next start at Baltimore.

Assad (1-1) allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out one over six innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Saturday.

Assad was able to earn his second quality start in a row, putting together an efficient outing in Colorado. He threw just 46 of 80 pitches for strikes, but he was able to hold the Rockies largely at bay until he started to fade in the sixth inning. Assad is now at a 4.05 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB through 20 innings over four starts this season. Jameson Taillon (groin) isn't eligible to return until the second week of September at the earliest, so Assad should be penciled in to make his next start at home versus the Nationals.

Brown (0-2) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over four innings to take the loss versus the Cubs on Saturday.

Brown did a little better in his second MLB start, but he still wasn't all that successful in his first turn at Coors Field. He was able to keep the ball down, but he's walked three batters in each of his two outings, and he'll need to improve in that area to find more success. Brown is tentatively scheduled for another home start next week against the Padres.

Abbott (8-5) took the loss against the Cardinals on Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits and four walks with seven strikeouts over five innings.

Abbott issued four walks and hit a batter but kept the Cardinals off the board in four of five innings. It was an encouraging rebound after the southpaw surrendered six earned runs a week ago, though he remains winless in eight starts since the All-Star break. He'll carry a 2.65 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 125:39 K:BB across 139 innings into a home matchup with the Mets next weekend.

Hart is expected to be called up from Triple-A El Paso and is set to work in bulk relief behind opener David Morgan in Sunday's game against the Twins, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Hart worked as a starter early in the season while with the big club, but all three of his appearances in July came in relief. He's also been working out of the bullpen with El Paso, and he hasn't exceeded two innings in any of his past seven appearances. With that in mind, Hart may be on a pitch count of some sort Sunday.

McGreevy (6-2) earned the win against the Reds on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks without recording a strikeout over six innings.

McGreevy held the Reds in check despite generating just five whiffs on 93 pitches and failing to record a strikeout for the first time in his young career. The 25-year-old continues to work deep into games, tossing exactly six innings in all six of his August outings and posting four quality starts in the process. He'll carry a 4.17 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 40:11 K:BB across 69 frames into a home matchup with the Giants next weekend.

Sanchez did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Atlanta, allowing one run on seven hits and no walks with eight strikeouts over seven innings.

Sanchez opened with five scoreless frames before allowing a run in the sixth, generating a whopping 20 whiffs on 97 pitches. It was a strong rebound after the Cy Young contender allowed a season-high six runs Monday, and he's now delivered a quality start in 19 of his 27 outings this season. He'll carry a 2.66 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 181:41 K:BB across 169.1 innings into a road matchup with the Marlins next weekend.
