The Mets are promoting pitching prospect Gary Gill Hill from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse, the team announced on Sunday.
Gill Hill joined the Mets organization as part of the trade that sent Freddy Peralta to the Tampa Bay Rays at this year's trade deadline and had pitched well with the Rumble Ponies. In five starts, the right-hander went 2-0 with a 3.76 ERA (1.22 WHIP) and struck out 28 batters over 26.1 innings.
Overall, the 21-year-old has a 4.34 ERA in 25 starts between High-A, where he began the season, and Double-A.
New York's No. 19 overall prospect, according to SNY, Gill Hill's last start in Binghamton came on Sept. 1, which puts him on schedule to make his debut for Syracuse soon.
The promotion comes after the Mets recalled Jonah Tong from Triple-A to the big leagues, leaving a spot open in the starting rotation.

On September 1st, major league rosters expand to 28-players, and tomorrow the Mets are reportedly calling up right-handed pitcher Justin Hagenman and right-handed outfielder Nick Morabito.
The plan for Hagenman is to have him start on Wednesday against Tampa Bay, giving an extra day of rest to the Mets' young trio of Christian Scott, Nolan McLean, and Zac Thornton heading into the weekend series with the Giants.
Hagenman appeared in nine games for the Mets in 2025, starting one game, and did not pitch vey well, putting up a 4.48 ERA over 23.2 innings. Hagenman fractured a rib during spring training and has been on the shelf all year. Wednesday's start will be only his fourth game of the 2026 season, getting one rehab start in St. Lucie, Binghamton, and Syracuse, giving up home runs in two of those games.
Hagenman was not promised any starts beyond Wednesday, according to Gary Cohen on the Mets' broadcast.
Morabito appeared in five games for the Mets earlier this season, before A.J. Ewing emerged as the Mets' everyday center fielder, and was hitless in 11 plate appearances. At Triple-A Syracuse, Morabito hit .254/.355/.388 with 13 home runs and 42 stolen bases.

Billy Amick may not be among the most highly-regarded prospects the Mets acquired in their trade deadline sell-off, but he's certainly already making a name for himself in the organization.
The power-hitting corner infield prospect has been on an absolute tear with Binghamton since coming over from the Twins as part of the A.J. Minter deal.
Amick launched a three-run shot in the bottom of the sixth on Sunday afternoon, helping the Rumble Ponies to a weekend series sweep and their seventh consecutive victory.
The youngster also drew a walk and stole his third base of the season.
Amick has now homered five times over his first seven games with the team, driving in 13 runs and racking up an impressive 1.387 OPS over that span.

Having traded away a slew of players ahead of the trade deadline earlier this evening, the Mets are set to call up six players, per Will Sammon: Dedniel Núñez, Jefry Yan, Nate Lavender, Chayce McDermott, Xzavion Curry, and Cristian Pache. The team has 21 players on its active roster at the time of this writing, and with Curry having just been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.
Núñez had Tommy John surgery last July, and he's been pitching in the minors on a rehab ***** ignment. In 13.0 innings, most of which have been with Syracuse, he has a 4.15 ERA and a 3.81 FIP. In 44.2 major league innings before his elbow injury, he had a 2.82 ERA and a 2.62 FIP.
Yan is a 29-year-old who took a long break from baseball in the late 2010s, but he'll be making his major league debut whenever he appears in a game. He's been in the Mets' organization since the start of the 2026 season, and he's had an outstanding 43.5% strikeout rate and a somewhat staggering 15.8% walk rate with a 3.24 ERA and a 2.64 FIP in 41.2 innings between his time in Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Syracuse. He's known for his eccentric strikeout celebrations.
Lavender, a left-handed reliever, has been in the Mets' system since the team drafted him in 2021. He was limited to just 7.0 innings in 2024 and missed the entirety of the 2025 season because of an injury. He's thrown 43.0 innings in the minors this year with a 3.77 ERA and a 2.78 FIP. He, too, will be making his major league debut when he first appears.
McDermott is a 27-year-old right-handed reliever who came to the Mets when they traded minor league catcher Ben Rortvedt back to the Dodgers today. He's thrown a total of 15.0 major league innings with the Orioles and Dodgers and has a 12.00 ERA and an 8.74 FIP. He has a 4.55 ERA and a 4.51 FIP in 31.2 innings in Triple-A this year.

NEW YORK (AP) — Francisco Lindor will play at least one more minor league rehab game before the New York Mets decide to activate their shortstop from the injured list following a two-month absence because of a strained left calf.
Lindor will play his third rehab game Tuesday when he plays for Triple-A Syracuse. He split this weekend playing for Double-A Binghamton and Syracuse and was 1 for 8 while playing shortstop.
"We'll re-assess after the game and see what's next for him," manager Carlos Mendoza said before the Mets were scheduled to open a four-game series against the Cubs on Monday.
Lindor was scheduled to take at-bats in a simulated game on the field Monday, but the session was canceled because of heavy rain. Instead, he participated in indoor baseball activities.
"We'll see whether he needs a day off, if he's ready to come (back)," Mendoza said. "He's just got to get through tomorrow and we'll have those discussions."

With Christian Scott heading to the 10-day injured list due to a right hip impingement, the Mets needed to figure out who would start Tuesday's game against the Reds in Cincinnati.
Carlos Mendoza told reporters ahead of Monday's game that the club will turn to Kodai Senga, who has been out since the end of April with lumbar spine inflammation.
"Kodai Senga is going to start for us tomorrow, and is going to be followed by Nolan McLean on Wednesday," Mendoza said.
Senga last pitched in the big leagues on April 26 against the Colorado Rockies, but struggled mightily while on the active roster, going 0-4 with a 9.00 ERA over five starts.
The 33-year-old has since made four rehab starts across all three levels of the minors, including six strong innings with five strikeouts on June 11 for Double-A Binghamton.

Ten athletes from Section 4 captured ****** les at the New York State outdoor track & field championships Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14 at Webster Schroeder High School in the Rochester area.
Corning-Painted Post senior Cella McLaughlin led the way among Section 4 girls with triumphs in two events, giving her a combined seven state ****** les over the last two school years in indoor and outdoor track & field.
Candor senior Logan Aman also won ****** les in two events, including a sweep of the Class C and Federation finals in the 100-meter dash.
Other Section 4 champions were Binghamton's Milo Wilson, Maine-Endwell's Wyatt Richardson, Lansing's Ava Kobylarz, Oneonta's Cassidy Howard and Darren Rose, Tioga Central's Gavin Albrecht, and Chenango Valley's Delaney Walters and Mack Patterson.
Competition was suspended twice Sunday because of rain. As of late Sunday afternoon, a few events had not been completed.

Horseheads is the last Section 4 boys lacrosse team standing following a victory Wednesday, June 3 that was dominant and historic.
The Blue Raiders handled Section 2 runner-up ******* ton Spa, 13-4, in a New York State Public High School Athletic ******* ociation Class B subregional at Ithaca High School. It was Horseheads' first victory in the state tournament after losses in 1987, 1988, 1998, and 2016.
"This team just keeps doing it," Horseheads senior Zack Bennett said. "We ended our regular season with a five-game win streak. To win the first state playoff game is just fantastic. I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else."
Horseheads, a 13-3 winner over Binghamton for its first Section 4 ******* le since 2016, will meet Section 5's Victor in a New York State Public High School Athletic ******* ociation regional final Saturday, June 6 at Hobart & William Smith Colleges in Geneva. Victor topped Orchard Park, 12-8, in their subregional Wednesday.
Ballston Spa finished with a 12-7 record.
