Overview

  • In his first rehab outing Saturday for Double-A Binghamton, Senga allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks over 3⅔ innings and threw 68 pitches.
  • Mets decision-makers are debating whether to activate him for next weekend’s Kansas City series or to schedule a second minor-league rehab appearance.
  • Before his hamstring strain on June 12, Senga had compiled a 7–3 record with a 1.47 ERA in 13 starts this season.
  • His return would reinforce a rotation already stretched thin by 13 pitchers on the injured list and multiple spot starts.
  • Left-hander Sean Manaea is also nearing his big-league return, though his timetable does not alter Senga’s activation decision.
