NY Mets pay tribute to Jacob deGrom before he returns to Citi Field mound<\/p>\n

As Jacob deGrom made his first start back at Citi Field since leaving the Mets, the club played a video tribute on Sept. 12, 2025.<\/p>\n

NEW YORK \u2014 Jonah Tong will have an opportunity to showcase his resolve on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

In his third career start last time around, the 22-year-old only lasted \u2154 inning while surrendering six earned runs against the Rangers.<\/p>\n

Now, Tong will be looking to bounce back in the Mets’ series finale against the Padres at 1:10 p.m. Thursday at Citi Field.<\/p>\n

The Mets enter the afternoon with a 1.5-game lead over the Diamondbacks<\/a> for the final NL Wild Card spot. The Reds and Giants trail by two games.<\/p>\n

Randy Vasquez will make Thursday’s start for the Padres. The 26-year-old righty is 5-6 with a 3.72 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 25 appearances.<\/p>\n

As the Mets and Padres complete their series, here are the lineups for both sides:<\/p>\n
