Overview

• After allowing four runs in 3 2/3 innings for Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Senga told team officials Friday he is not ready to pitch in the majors.
• With Syracuse’s season ending, the Mets scheduled a simulated live-bat session next week to keep him facing hitters while he remains optioned.
• Manager Carlos Mendoza declined to guarantee Senga a playoff spot, saying the club will select the best 13 pitchers for October.
• Mets officials said Senga is healthy but his velocity and pitch execution were down in the latest start, renewing concerns about his mechanics.
• Rookies Nolan McLean, Jonah Tong and Brandon Sproat have filled rotation slots during the playoff push, leaving Senga’s October role uncertain.
