Pintaro was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.
The 28-year-old righty has only recorded two outs in the majors, back in 2025, giving up two earned runs while walking two in that brief big-league debut. Pintaro boasts a 2.81 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 32:12 K:BB in 25.2 innings across 15 appearances out of the Triple-A bullpen this year.

Mets' Zach Thornton: Back to Triple-A
Rotowire
Thornton was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.
Thornton made a surprise big-league debut with a spot start Wednesday in Washington, and he dealt with some growing pains, giving up four earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three in 4.1 innings. Thornton, a 6-foot-3 lefty, sits 91-92 mph with his two fastballs and threw his 86-mph cutter 50 percent of the time Wednesday. He earned the spot start by logging a 3.16 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 40:12 K:BB in 37 innings across seven starts split between Double-A and Triple-A.

Mets' Tobias Myers: Limited workload as opener
Rotowire
Myers gave up a run on a hit and a walk in 1.1 innings Friday against the Marlins. He didn't strike out a batter.
The right-hander tossed 20 pitches (13 strikes) as the opener before exiting the mound. Myers could be headed for another turn in the rotation as an opener next Wednesday against the Reds -- rookie Jonah Tong fired three hitless, scoreless innings in relief Friday and appears ticketed for another turn as a bulk reliever or tandem option. Myers would be a likely candidate to begin that game for the Mets. On the season, the former Brewer has posted a 3.56 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 23:7 K:BB through 30.1 innings.

Mets' Sean Manaea: Stuck with loss Friday
Rotowire
Manaea (0-1) took the loss Friday against the Marlins, allowing one run on four hits over 3.2 innings in bulk relief. He struck out three without walking a batter.
It was one of the better performances this season from Manaea, who fired 46 of 65 pitches for strikes after replacing Tobias Myers on the mound with one out in the second inning, but the veteran southpaw was on the hook for the loss as the Mets were downed 2-1. Manaea has a 4.00 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 9:3 K:BB over four appearances and nine innings in May, an improvement on his 6.97 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in April, but he seems set to remain in a long relief role despite New York's rotation issues.

Mets' Kodai Senga: Tosses 63 pitches in rehab start
Rotowire
Senga (back) gave up two earned runs on four hits and a walk over 3.1 innings in a rehab start for Single-A St. Lucie on Friday. He struck out two.
While the right-hander's line in the box score wasn't particularly impressive, Senga built up to 63 pitches (36 strikes) in his first rehab start, suggesting his return isn't far away. He landed on the 15-day injured list after a rough stretch to end April, coughing up 16 earned runs in just 8.1 innings over his last three big-league outings. If he needs only one more rehab start, Senga could be in line to rejoin the Mets rotation during the club's first series of June in Seattle.

Mets' Jonah Tong: Set for another appearance
Rotowire
Tong is expected to pitch again Wednesday against the Reds, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
The Mets haven't officially announced their rotation plans past this weekend, but Tong's performance in his season debut Friday appears to have earned him another appearance. The 22-year-old right-hander followed Tobias Myers and Sean Manaea onto the mound Friday and tossed three scoreless, hitless innings in an eventual 2-1 loss to the Marlins. Kodai Senga (back) also threw 63 pitches in a rehab start for Single-A St, Lucie on Friday, so using Tong as a bulk reliever or as part of a tandem with Manaea on Wednesday would keep that spot in the rotation lined up for Senga's likely return in June.
The Mets are expected to recall Pintaro from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Pintaro already has one MLB appearance under his belt from last season, though it ended with him allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while logging one strikeout in two-thirds of an inning. He's had far more success to begin the year at Triple-A, posting a 2.81 ERA and 1.15 WHIP alongside a 32:12 K:BB through 25.2 innings. His notable improvement will now buy him another look in the big leagues, where he'll likely work as a multi-inning reliever.

Mets' Juan Soto: Provides lone offense with homer
Rotowire
Soto went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Marlins.
Despite batting third in the Mets' lineup, Soto saw just three plate appearances, as New York sent just 29 batters to the plate on a night when they generated just three hits, two of which came off Soto's bat. He took Eury Perez deep in the top of the first inning, and that was all the Mets were able to muster on the scoreboard. Soto has three multi-hit games over his last four appearances and has hit safely in eight of the last nine, raising his average 38 points during that span. He's slashing .301/.394/.571 with 10 homers, 21 RBI, 22 runs scored, five stolen bases and a 21:24 BB:K across 155 trips to the plate this season.

Mets' Jonah Tong: Three hitless innings in 2026 debut
Rotowire
Tong didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Marlins, allowing one walk with two strikeouts across three hitless and scoreless innings out of the Mets' bullpen.
The 22-year-old was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse earlier Friday and worked the final three innings after Tobias Myers and Sean Manaea covered the first 15 outs. Tong flashed his plus stuff, including a 95.9 mph fastball, and generated five whiffs on 28 pitches. The right-hander could make starts for the Mets or be deployed as a multi-inning reliever.
The Mets designated Kimbrel for assignment Friday.
Kimbrel's brief stint with the Mets was unsuccessful, as he collected a 6.00 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB over 15 innings out of the bullpen. He is likely to pass through waivers before becoming a free agent. Kimbrel will turn 38 next week and could have to accept a minor-league contract if he wants to continue his playing career.

Mets' Jonah Tong: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Mets recalled Tong from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.
Tobias Myers is making a spot start Friday in Miami, and since he's not stretched out, Tong could be used after him in a bulk relief role. It's been a rough start to the season at Syracuse for Tong, who has posted a 5.68 ERA and 55:24 K:BB across 38 frames covering nine starts at the Mets' top minor-league affiliate.

Mets' Bo Bichette: Supplies only offense in win
Rotowire
Bichette went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Thursday's win over the Nationals.
It wasn't much, but Bichette's two-run single in the third inning wound up being all the offense David Peterson and the Mets' bullpen would need on the day. Bichette has racked up seven hits and nine RBI over the last four games as he shows signs of getting comfortable in his new uniform, but on the season the former Blue Jay is slashing just .225/.276/.328 through 50 contests with five homers, one steal, 24 runs and 27 RBI.

Mets' Devin Williams: In vintage form after adjustment
Rotowire
Williams credits a mechanical adjustment for his current 10-appearance scoreless streak, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
The right-hander has suddenly regained the elite form he showed to begin his career in Milwaukee, where he posted a sub-2.00 ERA over three straight seasons before being traded to the Yankees in 2025. His new club had Williams adjust the position of his hands when he began his motion to the plate in an effort to combat perceived pitch tipping, but the end result was a 4.79 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 90:25 K:BB over 62 innings last year, and he eventually lost the closer job to David Bednar. Williams signed a three-year contract with the Mets this offseason, and after a shaky start to 2026, a video review session in late April prompted the 31-year-old to return to his original hand placement. Since then, he's converted five straight save chances over 9.2 shutout innings with a 12:2 K:BB.
Myers will start Friday's contest on the mound versus the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Myers will make his second start of the season, but he likely isn't stretched out enough to serve as anything more than a glorified opener. He hasn't thrown more than 25 pitches in an appearance since May 2 and has maxed out at three innings on the season. Sean Manaea, who hasn't pitched since Sunday, is available to handle multiple frames out of the bullpen, but it's not clear if the Mets intend to use him in tandem with Myers or if manager Carlos Mendoza will see how many innings he can get out of Myers before deciding how to deploy his relief options.

Mets' Devin Williams: Hangs on for seventh save
Rotowire
Williams secured the save Thursday against the Nationals, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.
Williams let the possible tying run get into scoring position via a Daylen Lile double but held on to preserve a one-run win for the Mets on Thursday. That's now 10 consecutive scoreless outings for the right-hander, who has nailed down five straight save opportunities. Williams' stats are still recovering from a brutal start to the year, as he now has a 4.32 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB over 16.2 innings while converting seven of his eight save chances.
