Friday was a bust for the New York Mets' minor-league system, All four full-season affiliates lost, Syracuse fell twice as it lost the completion of Thursday's suspended game and then the regular game Friday. The bright spots were a handful of strong pitching performances. The best one was Luke Gabrysh's four-inning start for High-A Brooklyn against Jersey Shore. He allowed no runs and one hit, struck out six and walked none. He threw 39 of his 56 pitches for strikes. Familiarity may have played a role. Gabrysh pitched for Jersey Shore before the Mets acquired him from the Philadelphia Phillies' organization prior to the Aug. 3 trade deadline in the Brooks Raley deal. Still, he has shown that he can dominate. The most intriguing indicator is his 30.8 percent strikeout rate. On the flip side, he has a 10.7 percent walk rate and a 3.3 percent home run rate. All those rates combine for a FIP close to 5.00. Luis R. Rodriguez replaced Gabrysh in the fifth and promptly allowed two unearned runs. They proved to be the difference in a 2-1 Cyclones loss. Elsewhere in the organization . . . Syracuse lost Thursday's suspended game to Jacksonville 4-2, and then lost the regular game 7-2. The regular contest was shortened to seven innings because of the completion. Shawn Ross and Nick Morabito drove in the Mets' runs in the seventh. Binghamton's winning streak ended at 10 with a 10-3 loss to Portland. Noah Hall took a beating. He allowed eight runs (all earned) and 11 hits over 3 2/3 innings. St. Lucie lost 3-2 to Jupiter. Dylan Carey hit his first professional home run, a two-run blast in the seventh inning that accounted for the Mets' scoring. DSL Mets Blue lost 18-17 in 10 innings to the DSL Nationals in a game that lasted six hours and two minutes. The Mets drew 21 walks in the game. Oscar Pena drew six of them. Jesus Minaya had two hits, two RBIs and three runs scored. DSL Mets Orange shut out the DSL Marlins on two hits 3-0. Abner Meza (five innings) and Esteban Mejia (two innings) each allowed a hit. The Mets stole seven bases in the game. New York Mets Transactions No Roster Moves Syracuse Goes Quietly As It Loses Twice Syracuse managed just three hits in the regular game, and its runs in the seventh were scored without the benefit of a hit. MJ Melendez, Eric Wagaman, and Ryan Clifford drew consecutive walks to load the bases. After a strikeout, Shawn Ross was hit by a pitch to force in Melendez, and leadoff man Nick Morabito lifted a sacrifice fly to score Wagaman. A strikeout ended the game. Zach Peek started and took the loss. The big hit against him was a three-run homer with two out in the second inning. Matt Seelinger gave Syracuse 1 1/3 hitless scoreless innings of relief. Dylan Ross followed with a clean inning and two strikeouts. Joe Jacques and Ben Simon then allowed the final four runs.

Jacob Reimer caught the hitting bug that has been going around at Binghamton. On Thursday, it was his turn to make an opponent sick. Reimer launched a three-run home run in the seventh inning to break open the Rumble Ponies' 10th consecutive victory, a 6-2 triumph over Portland. It was his first long ball since returning from a rehab assignment at High-A Brooklyn on Aug. 4. But even without much slug (two extra-base hits), he has been productive at the plate. He has driven in runs in six of seven games, and the homer gave him 10 RBIs in that stretch. He's up to .300 (9-for-30) after a third consecutive two-hit night. The surge is a welcome development for the 22-year-old corner infielder, who appeared to be on the fast track after his 61-game stretch at Binghamton last year (.853 OPS, nine home runs). He stumbled through the first 2 1/2 months this year before going on the injured list in mid-June with a groin tweak. He's up to a .729 OPS and seven homers in 57 games for the Rumble Ponies. His contribution Thursday was also important because he's fighting a few newcomers for at-bats on a suddenly stacked infield. Top prospect Jefferson Rojas and slugging Billy Amick were acquired around the trade deadline. Corey Collins came up from Brooklyn last month. All have been making an impact with the Ponies. Elsewhere in the organization: Syracuse's game at Jacksonville was suspended in the top of the fifth inning because of rain, with the Mets trailing 3-2. Zack Short was on third base with one out and Vidal Brujan was at the plate with a 2-0 count when play was halted. The game will be completed Friday, beginning at 5:05 p.m. The clubs' regularly scheduled game will follow. Brooklyn scored three runs in the seventh inning and two more in the eighth to beat Jersey Shore 6-1. Daiverson Gutierrez broke a 1-1 tie with an RBI double in the seventh. The bullpen gave up one hit over five scoreless innings. St. Lucie scored all its runs in the final three innings as it defeated Jupiter 7-2. Ethan Lanthier struck out nine over 3 2/3 innings and Elian Pena homered for the third time in the series. DSL Mets Orange shut out DSL Giants Black 3-0. Maxgregori Harvey and Olmedo Barria combined on a one-hitter with 11 strikeouts. DSL Mets Blue lost a 16-10 slugfest to the DSL White Sox. Adrian La Rosa had three hits and three RBIs. New York Mets Transactions No Roster Moves Morabito Stars, Santucci Stumbles Before Syracuse Game Suspended Nick Morabito drove in both Mets runs before the rains hit. He led off the game with a home run, and he brought home another run with a groundout in the third. Mets starter Jonathan Santucci failed to get out of the first inning. He was hooked after throwing 36 pitches (19 strikes). He was charged with two runs (one earned) on one hit and three walks. Reimer Caps Binghamton's Comeback The Rumble Ponies overcame an early deficit with a pair of three-run innings. They took the lead with three in the fifth and then added on with Reimer's homer. Corey Collins started the fifth-inning rally by drawing a walk. D'Andre Smith doubled to move him to third. Kevin Parada lined a single to right to score Collins. A throwing error on the play allowed Smith to score and move Parada up to second. Mitch Voit reached on a fielding error that moved Parada to third. Marco Vargas bunted into a fielder's choice, switching places with Voit. Vargas then stole second, and Parada scored on an error by Portland's catcher. Dakota Hawkins and Zach Conley piggybacked the start. Each went three innings, Hawkins was touched up for two runs on four hits, while Conley allowed two hits and no walks over three scoreless frames. He was the pitcher of record when Binghamton took the lead.

Gutierrez moved to third on a fly out by Eddinson Paulino, Chase Meggers walked, and then Trey Snyder singled to center to bring in Gutierrez for a 3-1 lead. Ronald Hernandez was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Henriquez then walked to force in Meggers. Meggers and Snyder extended Brooklyn's lead with RBI singles in the eighth. Joel Diaz started and went the first four innings. He allowed Jersey Shore's run and four hits.

The Mets tied the game in the seventh with an RBI double by Bohan Adderley and a run-scoring groundout by Vladi Gomez. Lanthier allowed just a solo home run in his dominant outing.

It may have only been in a mid-August minor-league game, but Christopher Morel and Eric Wagaman stuck it to one of their former organizations Wednesday night. The Miami Marlins castoffs hit back-to-back home runs in the top of the ninth inning to rally Syracuse to a 10-9 victory over the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, the Fish’s Triple-A affiliate. The jacks rescued the Mets after they blew a four-run lead in the bottom of the eighth. The Marlins signed Morel as a free agent last Dec. 18 with the idea of trying him at first base. They released him from Jacksonville’s roster on June 26. The Mets signed him to a minor-league contract five days later, and he has responded with 11 home runs in 28 games while filling a super utility role. He has now started at five different positions for them after playing right field Wednesday, adding to first base, second base, third base and left field. Miami traded Wagaman to the Minnesota Twins on Jan. 2. The Mets claimed him off waivers from Minnesota on April 27. He has appeared in 23 games with New York, seeing time at all four corners. Elsewhere in the organization: Binghamton made it nine wins in a row with a 13-5 rout of Portland. Jefferson Rojas drove in three runs, Émilien Pitre and D’Andre Smith each drove in two, and Chris Suero and Billy Amick homered. Brooklyn lost 4-3 in 11 innings at home to Jersey Shore. The Cyclones tied the game in the ninth and 10th. Daiverson Gutierrez had three hits and two RBIs. Starter Emilio Obispo threw five scoreless innings. St. Lucie lost 16-8 to Jupiter after leading 8-7. The Hammerheads scored two runs in the sixth and seven in the eighth. Aiden Robbins, the Mets’ third-round selection in this year’s MLB Draft, had two hits and drove in three runs. New York Mets Transactions No Roster Moves Syracuse Captures Wild Win In Jacksonville The Mets were down 8-7 in the ninth when Ronny Mauricio doubled with one out and Morel followed with a two-run blast to left. The next batter, Wagaman, hit a solo shot to stretch the lead to 10-8. That long ball proved to be vital. Zach Franklin gave up a home run in the bottom half to cut the advantage to 10-9. He later stranded the potential winning run at second base to record his first save with Syracuse. Wagaman had two doubles in addition to his home run. MJ Melendez and Zack Short also homered for the Mets. Joe Jacques was credited with the win despite allowing two runs (both earned), a hit and three walks in the eighth. Starter Jack Wenninger allowed three runs (two earned) on two hits, walked four and struck out eight over five innings. Chris Devenski marked his return to the Mets' organization by pitching a scoreless seventh.

Binghamton was already up 1-0 when Suero led off the second with a homer. The other runs in the inning came on a sacrifice fly by Smith, a double by Yohairo Cuevas, a single by Pitre and a sac fly by Rojas. Portland cut the deficit to 8-4 in the fifth, but Binghamton answered in the sixth with a second five-spot. Pitre and Rojas had RBI singles, and then Amick belted a three-run homer to make it 13-4. Starter Gary Gill Hill improved to 2-0 with Binghamton thanks to that run support. He didn't need to be great, and he wasn't. He was charged with five runs (four earned) and five hits, including two home runs, over six innings.

Jersey Shore tied the game in the eighth with the aid of a passed ball by Gutierrez. The misplay moved the runner up to second base with two out. A balk moved him to third, and then a single brought him in. The Blue Claws took the lead in the ninth on a two-out error by first baseman Chase Meggers. Brooklyn forced extras in the bottom half with a sacrifice fly by Yonatan Henriquez, scoring Aidan Smith. After the teams traded runs in the 10th --- Gutierrez doubled home Colin Houck for Brooklyn's tally --- Jersey Shore went ahead when Houck couldn't come up with a grounder with two out.

It's difficult to not write about the Binghamton Rumble Ponies these days. There's so much to cover with this team. There were three discussion topics from their 16-4 drubbing of Portland on Tuesday alone. The first: Binghamton has now won eight in a row, and it is smothering opponents, with a plus-47 run differential (68-21) during the streak.The Rumble Ponies scored four runs in the second inning and seven more in the sixth Tuesday to put the game away. The second: Jefferson Rojas homered for the first time with Binghamton and drove in three runs. He finished a triple shy of the cycle. The organization's biggest trade-deadline acquisition has had three hits in two of his last three games. The third: RJ Gordon put together his third consecutive quality start, and this one might have been the best. He allowed one earned run over seven innings, walked one, struck out seven, and threw 65 of his 95 pitches for strikes. The club isn't close to Eastern League second-half pennant contention. It's six games out of first place at 18-22. But it's playing like a club that can make a huge run in the final month. Elsewhere in the organization: Syracuse hit four home runs as it defeated Jacksonville 6-3. MJ Melendez, Vidal Brujan, Andy Ibáñez and Nick Morabito went deep. Jonah Tong was inefficient in a no-decision. Brooklyn shut out Jersey Shore 4-0. Nicolas Carreno and three relievers combined on a three-hitter. Ronald Hernandez provided the offense with a third-inning grand slam. St. Lucie lost to Jupiter 3-2. Elian Pena hit two solo home runs for the Mets’ offense. Conner Ware took the loss after giving up a go-ahead, two-run homer in the eighth inning. DSL Mets Blue lost 9-3 to DSL Rangers Blue in a game shortened to six innings because of rain. Yeremy Reyes had two hits, an RBI and a run scored. DSL Mets Orange lost 9-1 to DSL Giants Black. Dayron Oramas drove in the Mets’ run. New York Mets Transactions No Roster Moves Home Runs Carry Syracuse Past Jacksonville The Mets went deep in four consecutive innings to take command. Melendez hit a solo shot in the fourth to give them a 2-1 lead. Bruján connected on a two-run blast in the fifth for a 4-1 advantage. Ibáñez homered in the sixth to make it 5-1. Morabito led off the seventh with a solo shot to put Syracuse up 6-1. The only Mets run that didn't come via the home run scored when Melendez tripled home Ryan Clifford in the second inning. Tong needed 94 pitches to get through four innings on a night where the gametime temperature was 97 degrees. He allowed just one run on four hits, but he walked four and struck out six. He threw 53 strikes and 41 balls. The run came on a home run in the second inning. That left the Mets' bullpen to get the final 15 outs.

He led off the fifth with a drive to almost the same spot, again off a hanging spinner. The hits exited the bat at 101 and 100 mph, respectively. That's impressive stuff for someone who isn't yet a power guy. Peña has seven homers in 419 plate appearances this season. Will Watson (two scoreless innings) and Candido Cuevas (one scoreless inning) handed Ware a lead to begin the bottom of the fourth. Ware allowed a sacrifice fly in the fifth, but he entered the eighth with a 2-1 lead. He walked the No. 8 hitter to lead off the inning, and the No. 9 hitter followed with a line drive to left that cleared the fence. Ware got the next three hitters out to keep it a one-run game. He allowed three hits, walked one and struck out four in his five innings of work. Ryan Tayman went 3-for-3. Eli Serrano III was 2-for-3 with a walk.

There's no hotter team in the New York Mets' organzation than the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, and that includes the suddenly scorching big-league club. Binghamton has won seven in a row after completing a six-game sweep of Hartford. The Ponies posted a 4-3 triumph over the Yard Goats in the series finale Sunday, capping a week in which they won 23-3 and 1-0 on consecutive nights. Binghamton outscored Hartford 43-13 overall, a margin skewed by the 20-run win, but the 2.2 runs allowed per game was legit. The Rumble Ponies went with a piggyback pitching tandem of Channing Austin and Cristofer Gomez on Sunday, and the strategy worked exceptionally well, The two held Hartford to one run and one hit -- a solo home run -- over the first five innings, with nine strikeouts and no walks. Those two were long gone from the game when Billy Amick hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the sixth to break a 1-1 tie. Amick has hit five home runs in seven games with Binghamton since being acquired from the Minnesota Twins in the A.J. Minter trade. Elsewhere in the organization: Syracuse lost 5-4 to Columbus. The Mets stranded the winning run on first in the bottom of the ninth. Nick Lorusso homered and drove in three runs. His RBI single in the ninth cut the deficit to one. Brooklyn broke a tie with two runs in the top of the ninth and went on to beat Wilmington 8-6. Trey Snyder and Yonatan Henriquez notched the deciding RBIs for the Cyclones. St. Lucie dropped a 5-4 decision to Daytona. The Mets trailed 5-0 before getting on the board. Kuhio Aloy and Simon Juan each drove in two runs. New York Mets Transactions New York Mets selected the contract of RHP Jack Weisenburger from Syracuse Mets. New York Mets optioned RHP Xzavion Curry to Syracuse Mets. Syracuse Gets Big Day From Lorusso In Loss Lorusso gave the Mets a 2-0 lead in the second with a two-run homer to left-center. He drove in Christopher Morel ahead of him. Morel singled with one out. Columbus answered with a run in the third, two runs in the fourth, and two more in the fifth to take a 5-2 lead. Syracuse got a run back in the bottom of the fifth when Ryan Clifford was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to force in Andy Ibáñez. The Mets trimmed the deficit to 5-4 in the ninth when Ibáñez doubled and Lorusso singled him home. Clifford struck out looking with runners on first and second to end the game. Clifford took the golden sombrero (four Ks) in the game. Ofreidy Gómez was effective as the opener. He allowed just a solo home run over 2 1/3 innings, walking none and striking out two. Matt Seelinger took the loss. He gave up the other four Columbus runs over 1 2/3 innings.

He advanced to second on a fielder's choice grounder by Jefferson Rojas.The forecout throw from first base to second base was off target, making everyone safe. Chris Suero struck out. Amick followed with a blast to left, scoring Pitre and Rojas for a 4-1 lead. Hartford got it to 4-3 in the seventh with a solo home run and a throwing error by Parada on a double steal, but the Binghamton bullpen kept it there.

Jefferson Rojas needed a few days, but he has now delivered his first big moment as a Mets prospect. The top-100 infielder lashed a go-ahead, two-run triple in the bottom of the eighth inning Saturday to push Double-A Binghamton to a come-from-behind 6-4 victory over Hartford. The hit completed a 3-for-4, three-RBI night. Rojas was 1-for-11 in his first three games with the club after being acquired from the Chicago Cubs at the trade deadline for Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor. Rojas played third base and batted third, behind two other newcomers: shortstop Mitch Voit (promoted from High-A Brooklyn) and second baseman Emilien Pitre (acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in the Freddy Peralta trade). The three combined for seven hits and four runs scored to go with Rojas’ RBIs. Another recent infield arrival, Billy Amick (acquired from the Minnesota Twins), hit a two-run homer, his fourth dinger in six games. Add in holdovers Jacob Reimer and Marco Vargas, both ranked in Grand Central Mets’ soon-to-be-updated Top 20, and the Ponies have some serious horsepower on the dirt. Elsewhere in the organization: We’re switching up the usual order to highlight Mets DSL Blue’s 5-0, seven-inning no-hitter against DSL Giants Black. Josbel Torrez (three innings) and Esteban Mejia (four innings) combined on it. It wasn’t the cleanest no-no; the two issued three walks and hit a batter between them, and another batter reached on an error. It still counts. The Mets took the lead with three runs in the top of the fifth. Royner Bravo hit a two-run triple, and Michalle Mercedes drove in Bravo with another triple. The Mets added on in the seventh. Jesus Minaya hit a solo home run and Frank Moreno hit an RBI single. Syracuse out-slugged Columbus 13-7. Ronny Mauricio went 4-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, five RBIs and four runs scored. Jose Ramos homered twice. Brooklyn lost a doubleheader at Wilmington, 6-5 and 4-0. Sammy Stafura and Aidan Smith combined for five hits, four runs and three RBIs in Game 1. Brooklyn had three hits in Game 2. St. Lucie split a doubleheader with Daytona, winning the opener 3-1 and losing the nightcap 15-7.

Starter Nathan Hall struck out three over 1 2/3 scoreless innings. Caden Wooster followed and went 1 2/3 innings. He allowed Daytona's only run, on a solo home run in the third.

Those last two runs were scored against Zayas, who was called upon to pitch for the second time in three days. St. Lucie battled back in each of the of the first three innings to lead or tie. In the first, Ryan Tayman's RBI groundout and a throwing error put the Mets up 2-1. In the second, Simon Juan homered for a 3-2 lead.

Julio Zayas is experiencing a mini-hot streak at the plate, a stretch that has him also hitting the long ball. Zayas hit his second home run in three games, a two-run, walk-off drive in the bottom of the ninth inning, to power Single-A St. Lucie to a 2-0 victory over Daytona on Friday. The 20-year-old first baseman/catcher has hit safely in all four of his games this month, and is 8-for-17 in that stretch. The run has raised his season slash line to .256/.356/.381 (.744 OPS) in 343 plate appearances. He now has eight home runs on the season. He's in his fourth pro season since signing with the Mets out of the Dominican Republic in 2023, but his first for a full-season affiliate. He spent his first season in the DSL and then the next two in the FCL, before graduating to St. Lucie this year. He's looking strong heading into the final month of the season. Elsewhere in the organization: Syracuse held off Columbus 6-5. The Mets broke a tie in the sixth when D’Andre Smith swiped third on the front end of a double steal and continued home as the catcher’s throw sailed into center field.

The term “balanced scoring” is generally reserved for basketball, but it applied to the Binghamton Rumble Ponies on a historic Thursday night. All nine batters had at least one hit (seven had at least two) and one run scored in a 23-3 beatdown of the Hartford Yard Goats. Eight of the nine drove in at least one run. Seven drew at least one walk. The team scored in seven of their eight innings at bat en route to shattering the single-game record for the current Binghamton franchise, which began play in 1992. Of course, there were some “leading scorers”: Mitch Voit: 5-for-6, five runs scored, two RBIs. He is still hotter than the sun. The five hits tied a franchise record. All the offense made Gary Gill Hill’s job easy. Binghamton’s starter got through five scoreless innings in his first appearance since being acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in the Freddy Peralta trade. He allowed three hits, walked two and struck out four before turning a 16-0 lead over to the bullpen.

Elwis Mijares allowed the Blue Rocks' only hit in the fifth, his second inning of work. Calvin Ziegler, Hunter Hodges and Joe Scarborough built the bridge to Juan Arnaud, who worked around two walks to earn the save. The last four relievers combined for eight strikeouts among the 12 outs they registered. Brooklyn grabbed an early lead with two runs in the first. Sammy Stafura, the prospect obtained from the Pittsburgh Pirates for reliever Luke Weaver, led off with a single and later scored on a single by Trey Snyder. Yonatan Henriquez singled home Smith for a 2-0 lead. Wilmington answered in the second with a hit by pitch with the bases loaded. Smith gave the Cyclones their two-run lead back in the third with a solo homer, his 12th of the season. The Blue Rocks sliced the margin to one again when a pickoff throw by Hunter went awry, allowing Eli Willits to score from second.

St. Lucie gave them plenty of help, with six walks (including one with the bases loaded), two wild pitches (one of which scored a run) and a throwing error that brought in another run. All the runs were charged to Jean Brito, but Luis Sotillo did allow two inherited runners to score. Things got worse in the eighth as Daytona added five runs against designated hitter Julio Zayas, who was asked to finish the game on the mound. Zayas allowed five hits and a walk, and he also hit a batter. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning, though, working around a hit. Zayas drove in the Mets' third run with a double back in the fifth, scoring John Smith III. Smith drove in Elian Peña with a double one batter earlier. Jose Lopez started and took the loss. He was charged with six runs (all earned) and seven hits over 5 1/3 innings. He walked one and struck out six.

One of the downsides of a team trading most of its best relievers at the deadline is that the replacements are either pushes or downgrades, rarely upgrades. That’s where the New York Mets stand with their bullpen after the conclusion of the 2026 trade season. The outlook beyond closer Devin Williams for the final two months is grim. Over a 72-hour span that ended Monday afternoon, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns shipped out A.J. Minter, Huascar Brazoban, Brooks Raley and Luke Weaver in separate trades. The pitchers who came back in those deals are not major league-ready, save for possibly 27-year-old Zach Franklin, who was part of the return for Brazoban from the Chicago White Sox. So, that leaves holdovers on the 40-man roster and healthy arms at Triple-A Syracuse to fill the gaps for the remainder of the season. Let's figure out how the Mets will use their collection of pitchers to get from now to the conclusion of the campaign. The Rehabbers Dedniel Nunez, Austin Warren Nunez and Warren will be the most solid options if they come back strong from Tommy John surgery and a forearm strain, respectively. Both have been rehabbing in the minors the past few weeks. Nunez was becoming a trusted piece when his elbow blew out a second time last year. Warren flung enough good sweepers this year to earn a semi-permanent role, although his 4.63 ERA and 4.64 FIP don’t scream that he needs to stay up. Status: Nunez has been activated and looked good in his first taste of action on 8/5. Every Day They’re Shuttling Bryce Conley, Xzavion Curry, Daniel Duarte, Dan Hammer, Chayce McDermott, Tobias Myers, Jonathan Pintaro, Matt Seelinger, Robert Stock We're assuming that Kodai Senga and Stock replaces him in long relief for these purposes, but truthfully, those two are interchangeable in those roles. Stock can be moved off the 40-man at little cost, which is how the shuttle works. Conley and Duarte will begin the late-season dance on the active roster. Conley, 31, will make his MLB debut when he gets into a game. Duarte, 29, has pitched in eight games for New York over three stints. The results have been there: a 1.42 ERA (2.94 FIP) in 12⅔ innings and a 26.7 percent strikeout rate. Curry, Hammer, Myers, Pintaro and Seelinger have been up and down . . . and up . . . and down. Curry got a “Thanks for eating innings” demotion to Syracuse last weekend after throwing five solid innings Friday. Seelinger joined the "Met for a Day" club after being acquired in a trade with the Detroit Tigers and then allowing seven runs. Hammer received the same “honor” after his call-up before the All-Star break, but he didn’t get into a game. Myers and Pintaro can throw multiple innings, but neither one excites. McDermott figures to get a look after being acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers in a minor-league trade Monday for catcher Ben Rortvedt. One thing is for certain: The car services won’t be hurting for business as the Mets’ organization keeps doing its thing. Status: McDermott and Curry have been selected to the active roster, joining Duarte in New York. The Rotation Candidate Jonah Tong With Peralta and Holmes gone, the starting staff needs attention, too, and Tong appears ready to take one of those spots. He was sharper in his past three Triple-A starts (three earned runs allowed in 14⅔ innings) after struggling for about the first month after his June demotion. His fastball velocity reached into the high-90s his last time out. Stearns can run him, Zac Thornton, Christian Scott and Nolan McLean out to the mound as part of a young core in a five- or six-man rotation that would also include Sean Manaea and Senga. Status: Tong continues to pitch in Triple-A for the time being. Waiting For The Call Zach Franklin, Ofreidy Gomez, Joe Jacques, Ryan Lambert, Nate Lavender, Dylan Ross, Ben Simon, Matt Turner, Jefry Yan Ross technically got the call last September for the final weekend of the season, but he didn’t get into a game in that fateful series in Miami. This year, his ERA at Syracuse is 7.96. Franklin may get his first call-up to audition for his new club. Lavender, Turner and Yan are candidates to fill the left-handed relief role opened by the trades of Minter and Raley. Yan has the best stats (2.40 ERA in 15 innings) of the group. Gomez, Jacques and Lambert have all been ineffective. Pitchers who come off the minor league IL, random waiver claims, and minor league trades will expand this list as the Mets play out the string. If you thought the bullpen churn the first four months was annoying, wait until Stearns and his lieutenants try to juggle five or six spots with journeymen and suspects through the end of September. Status: Yan made his electric MLB debut this week, with Lavender joining him on the active roster.

John Smith III is out to show that draft position shouldn’t mean much when the players get between the lines. Smith is off to a hot start with Single-A St. Lucie after being taken in the 19th round (570th overall) of this year’s MLB Draft out of the University of Central Florida. Through his first four pro games, he has a .294/.350/.706 slash line ((1.056 OPS) and two home runs. On Wednesday, he made his latest statement as he delivered ta game-winning, two-run single in a wild 11-10, 10-inning victory over Daytona in the second game of a doubleheader. His hit capped the fourth comeback in as many innings by the Mets. Smith sat out Game 1, but he went 2-for-5 with three RBIs in Game 2. He doubled in the first inning and hit a sacrifice fly in the second, to go with his game-winner. Binghamton got off to quick start with a run in the bottom of the first. Marco Vargas led off with a single, stole second, and scored Émilien Pitre's single to right. The Ponies made it 3-0 in the second when Parada launched his first homer of the year for Binghamton (he hit one for Triple-A Syracuse), scoring Corey Collins ahead of him. Gordon and three relievers made those early runs stand up. Carlos Guzman, Brendan Girton and Saul Garcia each worked a scoreless frame, with Garcia notching his third save of the season. Jefferson Rojas, the standout prospect obtained fron the Chicago Cubs for Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor at the trade deadline Monday, went 0-for-4 as the designated hitter in his Binghamton debut.

Brooklyn entered the ninth trailing 8-4. The first three batters --- Carter Dierdorf, Antonio Jimenez, and Sammy Stafura --- walked to load the bases. Aidan Smith hit a sacrifice fly to cut the deficit to 8-5. Trey Snyder walked to reload the bases, and then Jamari Baylor delivered a two-run single to make it 8-7. After a flyout, Henriquez went deep for the lead. Josh Blum worked a 1-2-3 bottom of the ninth for his first save. Stafura, the prospect acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates for Luke Weaver at the trade deadline, doubled and scored in the first as Brooklyn took a 3-0 lead. An RBI single by Henriquez brought home the third run of the inning. Smith homered in the fifth to break a 3-3 tie. Wilmington scored one in the sixth ,one in the seventh and three in the eighth to seemingly take control.

Throwing errors by center fielder Bohan Adderley and catcher Yovanny Rodriguez gave Daytona a 2-0 lead in the first inning. A two-run throwing error by shortstop Elian Peña contributed to Daytona scoring four in the fourth and taking a 6-1 lead. Four of the eight runs allowed by Mets pitchers were unearned. Peña had two hits and drove in two runs. He singled home a run in the fourth and doubled in a run in the sixth.

Smith had the final word courtesy of his walk-off hit. In the 10th, Vladi Gomez led off with a bunt single that moved zombie runner Wyatt Vincent to third, Gomez stole second to take away the force play (and put the winning run in scoring position). After a strikeout, Peña was intentionally walked to load the bases. Smith lined a 1-2 pitch to right, bringing home Vincent and Gomez. The Mets forced extras with three runs in the bottom of the seventh when they were down to their final strike. Gomez's two-out, bases-loaded looper to left fell in and then was misplayed by Daytona's center fielder, clearing the bases. A wild pitch brought home the tying run in the eighth, and Julio Zayas' two-run homer tied the game in the ninth. Peña' had two more hits in the nightcap, giving him four for the doubleheader. Owen Woodward's two scoreless innings to open the game were long forgotten by the time the Mets won at exactly 10 p.m., some five hours and 58 minutes after the first pitch of Game 1.

The roster reconstructions of the past two weeks concluded with the passing of MLB's trade deadline. Now, the New York Mets' full-season minor-league affiliates can go back to worrying just about development and not also about who's moving where. Eleven prospects were acquired in the six trades New York made in the 72 hours prior to the deadline. The first two, Billy Amick and Bruin Agbayani, joined the organization last week. The rest were activated Tuesday. That meant a lot of introductions, and a lot of debuts. A quick summary of how the newcomers fared: Syracuse: Right-hander Zach Franklin (acquired from the Chicago White Sox in the Huascar Brazoban trade) allowed two runs and three hits over 1 2/3 innings in the Mets' 15-7 loss to Columbus. Binghamton: Jefferson Rojas (acquired from the Chicago Cubs for Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor) did not play in the Rumble Ponies' 6-3 victory over Hartford. Emilien Pitre (acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in the Freddy Peralta trade) went 2-for-4. Right-handers Gabe Davis (Brazoban) and Gary Gill Hil (Peralta) did not pitch. Brooklyn: Aidan Smith (Peralta) was 2-for-4 with a run scored in the Cyclones' 7-1 win over Wilmington. John Spikerman (acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies in the Brooks Raley trade) was 1-for-4 with an RBI. Sammy Stafura (acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates for Luke Weaver) did not play. Right-hander Luke Gabrysh (Raley) did not pitch. St. Lucie has Agbayani on its roster and was untouched by the Sunday-Monday flurry. The Mets were rained out Tuesday against Daytona. The game will be made up Saturday as part of a doubleheader. DSL Mets Blue pulled away late to beat the DSL Tigers 13-6. Royner Bravo had four hits, an RBI and two runs scored. DSL Orange blew out the DSL Twins 14-6 in eight innings. Wandy Asigen reached base four times, drove in a run and scored three runs. New York Mets Transactions New York Mets recalled RHP Xzavion Curry from Syracuse Mets. New York Mets designated RHP Bryce Conley for assignment. New York Mets activated RHP Dedniel Núñez from the 60-day injured list. New York Mets activated RHP Chayce McDermott. New York Mets sent DH MJ Melendez outright to Syracuse Mets. New York Mets sent RHP Kevin Herget outright to Syracuse Mets. New York Mets recalled LHP Jefry Yan from Syracuse Mets. New York Mets selected the contract of OF Cristian Pache from Syracuse Mets. New York Mets selected the contract of LHP Nate Lavender from Syracuse Mets. Syracuse Done In By 11-Run First Inning Columbus put up an 11-spot in the opening frame, most of it against starter Dakota Hawkins, who was up from Double-A Binghamton. Hawkins recorded two outs and was charged with eight runs on five hits (three of them home runs) and three walks, Ofreidy Gómez, Brian Metoyer, Franklin and Dylan Ross followed Hawkins to the mound before outfielder Mike Tauchman mopped up with two scoreless innings. Syracuse mounted a mini-comeback in the bottom of the first with two-run homers by Christopher Morel and Nick Lorusso. Lorusso's homer was his first in Triple-A after a promotion from Binghamton. D'Andre Smith drove in a run and scored a run in his first game since being promoted from Binghamton. Another promoted player, Jose Ramos, had two hits and a run scored.

The latter hit put Binghamton ahead to stay. Jacob Reimer added insurance with a two-run single in the seventh. Marco Vargas hit his first home run for Binghamton, a solo shot in the first to tie the game 1-1. Channing Austin went the first three, allowing a run on two hits, with two walks and a strikeout. Cristofer Gomez gave up two runs and three hits over the next 2 1/3. Zack Peek, Bryce Jenkins and Garrett Stratton shut the door from there. They combined to allow two hits and strike out five over the final 3 2/3 innings. Stratton earned his first save with a perfect ninth. Voit finished 3-for-4 with two RBIs, two runs scored and his fourth stolen base in just over a week with Binghamton. His Double-A slash line through seven games reads .538/.613/.962 (1.575 OPS).

Juan Arnaud finished with a scoreless ninth, although he walked three. The Cyclones broke through in the third with a solo home run by Jamari Baylor and a two-run homer by Trey Snyder. It was Snyder's first for Brooklyn. They added three in the fifth to break the game open. Randy Guzman and Spikerman singled in runs, and a fielder's choice grounder brought in the third run of the frame. They used small ball to tack on a run in the ninth.

Three of the New York Mets’ four full-season minor league affiliates played Sunday, and for each one, an intriguing story emerged. For Syracuse, it was Christopher Morel hitting three home runs, including a go-ahead, three-run moonshot in the sixth inning that powered the Mets to a series-ending 9-7 victory at Rochester. For Binghamton, it was the latest episode of the Mitch Voit Experience. The infield prospect homered, doubled twice, singled and drove in five runs to cap a huge first week at Double-A as the Rumble Ponies stomped Reading 9-3. For Brooklyn, it was Clay Holmes making his final rehab start before Monday’s MLB trade deadline. It was almost surely Holmes’ last appearance for the Mets’ organization, at least this year. The Cyclones held off Winston-Salem 6-5. St. Lucie didn’t get in on the fun. Its game against Dunedin was canceled because of inclement weather. Both DSL Mets squads, Blue and Orange, were off. Further intrigue came from New York on Sunday and will again on Monday. The full-season clubs should look vastly different when they return to action Tuesday, thanks to the trades the big-league club is expected to complete before the 6 p.m. ET deadline. Binghamton and Brooklyn are already feeling the effects of Freddy Peralta being traded Sunday to the Tampa Bay Rays for outfielder Aidan Smith, right-hander Gary Gill Hill and second baseman Émilien Pitre. Hill and Pitre were playing at Double-A in the Rays’ chain, while Smith was at High-A. New York Mets Transactions New York Mets traded RHP Freddy Peralta to Tampa Bay Rays for RHP Gary Gill Hill, OF Aidan Smith and SS Émilien Pitre. New York Mets designated DH MJ Melendez for assignment. New York Mets designated RHP Joey Gerber for assignment. New York Mets released RHP Joey Gerber. New York Mets designated RHP Kevin Herget for assignment. New York Mets selected the contract of RHP Robert Stock from Syracuse Mets.

New York Mets optioned C Shawn Ross to Syracuse Mets. New York Mets optioned RHP Jonathan Pintaro to Syracuse Mets. New York Mets sent RHP Clay Holmes on a rehab assignment to Brooklyn Cyclones. Morel Mashes In Syracuse's Slugfest Win Make it eight home runs and a 1.174 OPS in 21 games with Syracuse for the former Cub, Ray and Marlin. Morel started his hat trick with a two-run drive in the third inning that gave the Mets a 5-1 lead. After Rochester scored five times in the bottom of the fifth to take a 7-5 advantage, he teed off in the sixth for homer No. 2. With Zack Short and Christian Arroyo aboard, he sent a Justin Lawrence pitch out of sight to put Syracuse back in front 8-7. Now, he waits to find out who will trade for him. The Mets will be off in Cleveland on Monday, so there’ll be no formal hugwatch. Holmes’ market appeared to lose bidders over the weekend when the Chicago White Sox acquired right-hander Luis Castillo from the Seattle Mariners on Saturday and the Chicago Cubs obtained right-hander Kevin Gausman from the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. Brooklyn made him the winning pitcher in his assumed Mets finale with two runs in the first, three runs in the third and a run in the fourth. Recently promoted Randy Guzman and the still-rehabbing Andy Ibáñez went back-to-back with their first Brooklyn home runs in that three-run third. Ibáñez went 12-for-20 (.600) in five games this week.
