The New York Mets send pitcher Jefry (also reported as Jeffery) Yan back to Triple-A Syracuse. Multiple outlets report the move follows recent performance issues in which Yan allows at least one run in four straight appearances.
Yahoo Sports and the New York Post describe additional control problems during that stretch. They both say Yan walks 11 batters in 12 2/3 innings, a rate the team will address while he works in the minors. Both accounts frame the assignment as likely extending for the rest of the season, although they do not cite a specific date for his return.
While the outlets agree on the on-field indicators prompting the option, they differ slightly in how they spell his first name. Otherwise, their reporting aligns on the main reasons for the reassignment and the immediate destination, Triple-A Syracuse.
