The New York Mets have made several roster adjustments involving their pitching staff. On September 4, the team claimed pitcher Cameron Weston off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles, a move that resulted in catcher Shawn Ross being designated for assignment.

During this period, the organization also evaluated the roles of Mark Vientos and Kodai Senga. Following these considerations, pitching prospect Jonah Tong returned to the major leagues after a stint in Triple-A Syracuse. Tong, who faced challenges during the 2025 season, is being given an extended opportunity to perform for the remainder of the season as the Mets evaluate his potential for the 2027 rotation.
