Morning Briefing: Tommy Pham to Join Triple-A Syracuse Soon
Good morning, Mets fans!
The Mets’ plan for Tommy Pham is to have him join Triple-A Syracuse soon to face better competition. Pham has been with Low-A St. Lucie getting reps in after not being with a team during spring training. The Mets signed Pham, who had previously been with the team in 2023, to a minor league deal on Opening Day. He could soon see himself part of the equation on the major league team with Juan Soto on the injured list.

The Mets (7-7) lost to the A’s (6-7) 4-0 in their series opener on Friday. The bats were cold for a third straight game as the Mets couldn’t muster up a run. Clay Holmes looked good allowing just a run in 5 1/3 innings, but he exited early due to hamstring tightness. The Mets are optimistic that Holmes will be able to make his next start.
The Mets will look to right the ship against the A’s Saturday afternoon at 4:10 p.m. ET. Kodai Senga (0-1, 3.09 ERA) takes the mound against Jacob Lopez (0-1, 6.48 ERA).
President of baseball operations David Stearns provided injury updates to Juan Soto and Jorge Polanco prior to Friday’s game.

Polanco is still considered day-to-day.
