Tyler Jay

Last updated

18+1⁄3 innings pitched. The Twins transitioned Jay into a starting pitcher with Fort Myers in 2016, [10] where he posted a 5–5 record with a 2.84 ERA in 13 starts before being promoted to the Chattanooga Lookouts where he pitched to a 5.79 ERA in five games (two starts). He pitched only 11+2⁄3 innings in 2017 due to injury. Jay returned in 2018 to pitch for the Chattanooga Lookouts, compiling a 4–5 record with a 4.22 ERA in 38 games. Jay would begin the 2019 season with the Chattanooga Lookouts where he posted a 1–2 record with a 4.82 ERA in 17 appearances. [11] In 2019, he began struggling to swallow as a result of eosinophilic esophagitis and started to lose weight, which correlated with a decline in his on-field performance. [12]

Cincinnati Reds

On June 10, 2019, Jay was traded to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for cash considerations. [13] Jay would spend the rest of the 2019 season between the Pensacola Blue Wahoos and the AZL Reds where he posted a 0–0 record with a 3.03 ERA in 18 appearances and a 0–0 record with a 9.00 ERA in two appearances respectively. [14] He did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. [15] On June 1, 2020, Jay was released by the Reds. [16]

Joliet Slammers

By 2022, Jay's health problems which had correlated with his decline in performance were attributed to a diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis. After spending 2021 out of baseball and focusing on his health, Jay asked Joliet Slammers manager Daniel Schlereth for a tryout [12] and signed with the Frontier League team on June 7, 2022. [17] In 22 appearances for Joliet, he registered a 1.64 ERA with 24 strikeouts and eight saves in 22 innings of work. In 2023, Jay made 20 appearances (7 starts) for the Slammers, logging a 4–3 record and 4.26 ERA with 64 strikeouts and seven saves in 57 innings pitched. [18]

New York Mets

On August 24, 2023, Jay's contract was purchased by the New York Mets organization. [19] He spent the remainder of the year with the Triple–A Syracuse Mets, posting a 6.00 ERA with 8 strikeouts across 6 appearances. [20]

Jay began the 2024 season back in Syracuse, logging a scoreless appearance for the affiliate to start the year. On April 10, 2024, the Mets selected Jay's contract and promoted him to the major leagues for the first time. [21] He made his MLB debut the next day, pitching two innings against the Atlanta Braves. [22] [23] In his second appearance, he recorded two scoreless innings against the Kansas City Royals. However, on April 17, Jay was designated for assignment after Michael Tonkin was claimed off waivers. [24] He was outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse two days later after going unclaimed off waivers. [25]
