With Jonathan Pintaro (illness) landing on the injured list on Sunday, Yan returns to the Mets’ bullpen for the final game of the 2026 season. The 30-year-old southpaw has registered a 4.87 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and a 26/15 K/BB ratio across 20 1/3 innings at the MLB level this season.
Yan allowed two runs over 1 2/3 innings against the Nationals on Friday in what will likely be his final appearance of the season. The exuberant 30-year-old rookie showed some promise during an up-and-down few weeks in the majors, posting a serviceable 4.87 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 26/15 K/BB across 20 1/3 innings of work. He figures to be in the mix for a spot in New York’s bullpen next spring.
Yan had a 5.68 ERA, 1.82 WHIP, and a 17/11 K/BB ratio across his 12 2/3 innings with the Mets earlier this month. He’ll go back to pitching and leaping out of the bullpen over the final weeks of the season.
The 30-year-old southpaw struggled in his 13 appearances with the Mets, registering a 5.68 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and a 17/11 K/BB ratio across his 12 2/3 innings of work. He’ll continue to serve as extra bullpen depth at the Triple-A level. Tobias Myers was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move on Sunday.
Yan receives his first opportunity in the majors in the wake of New York’s fire sale at the trade deadline. The 29-year-old, who is best known for his theatrics on the mound, signed a minor league deal with the Mets last August. He’ll be making his big-league debut when he gets into a game.
Yan has a 3.78 ERA between two levels with the Mets this year, with an astonishing 63 strikeouts in just 33 1/3 innings. He still has no control (24 walks accompany the strikeouts) but it’s possible the Mets give him a shake in the bottom of pen mix at some point this summer.
