The Mets optioned Herget to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

Herget will cede his spot on the active roster to Jonah Tong. Herget was called up Wednesday and threw 2.2 scoreless innings against the Marlins on Thursday. The 34-year-old has a 2.00 ERA in 27 innings with Syracuse in 2025.

Helsley thinks his struggles since joining the Mets are a result of tipping pitches, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. "I think I know how to fix it," the right-hander said Thursday. "So it's just being able to enforce that and that being my mental norm versus what I was doing to get my body to accept that and reinforce that."

The former Cardinals closer has a brutal 10.38 ERA, 2.31 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB in 8.2 innings with the Mets, and he's been tagged with multiple earned runs in four of his last six appearances. "It definitely stinks," Helsley said. "I've never gone through anything like this in my career." He's still looking for his first hold for New York after being acquired at the trade deadline to be the top set-up man for Edwin Diaz, instead taking three losses and getting charged with four blown saves.

Atlanta optioned Suero to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

Atlanta is supplementing its bullpen after Cal Quantrill's abbreviated start Thursday in Philadelphia. Suero gave up a couple runs while recording just one out in that loss and now finds himself back in the minors a day later.

Atlanta optioned Cox to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

Cox was hammered for seven runs in a three-inning relief appearance Thursday in Philadelphia, throwing 68 pitches. He wasn't going to be available to pitch for a few days, so Atlanta is replacing him with a fresh bullpen arm.

Atlanta recalled Wiles from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

Wiles was knocked around in his major-league debut earlier this season with Atlanta, allowing three runs over one inning. He's been used mostly as a starter at Gwinnett, so Wiles will offer length in the bullpen after starter Cal Quantrill lasted only 3.1 innings in Thursday's loss to the Phillies.

Atlanta selected Brebbia's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

Brebbia posted a 1.89 ERA and 21:3 K:BB over 19 innings with Gwinnett after inking a minor-league contract with Atlanta in June. The veteran reliever holds an unsightly 7.71 ERA at the big-league level this season and will work in middle relief.

The Mets outrighted Adcock to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

The 28-year-old is now off the Mets' 40-man roster, clearing a spot for Jonah Tong, who was called up from Syracuse to make his major-league debut Friday versus the Marlins. Adcock has made three appearances in the big leagues this season, allowing one run while striking out five over three frames.

Kopech (knee) is expected to be activated off the injured list during the Dodgers' next road trip, which begins Tuesday in Pittsburgh, per MLB.com.

Kopech is six outings into a minor-league rehab assignment, during which he's posted a 7.20 ERA, 2.40 WHIP and 4:6 K:BB over five innings. While those numbers aren't pretty, three of the four runs he's allowed came in his first rehab appearance, and he followed that matchup with four consecutive scoreless outings. By waiting until after Sept. 1 to activate Kopech, Los Angeles won't need to make a corresponding roster move, as the veteran reliever is slated to be one of the team's two players added when rosters expand.

Romero allowed one hit and no walks with no strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning for the save Thursday against Pittsburgh.

Romero picked up his fifth save of the season, and each of which have come following the trade of Ryan Helsley. Riley O'Brien worked a clean eighth inning for a hold, and Romero should continue sharing ninth-inning work with O'Brien based on matchups to finish out the campaign. Romero owns a 2.25 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 45:22 K:BB over 48 innings in 2025.

Faucher struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

Faucher took care of business on a tidy seven pitches (six strikes) to secure his second save in as many outings. It's been an uneven August for the right-hander -- he's taken two losses while adding three saves and a hold, and he's given up four runs (two earned) over 10 innings. On the year, he's 13-for-18 in save chances with six holds, a 3.35 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 49:21 K:BB through 51 innings. Faucher looks to still have the edge over Ronny Henriquez for save chances, though the Marlins haven't produced a lot of those opportunities this month.
