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]

[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] On June 30, the Mets purchased Jay's contract, adding him back to the major league roster. [26] However, on July 2, he was optioned back to Triple–A having made just one appearance. [27] Jay was designated for assignment a second time on July 17. [28]
