Overview

  • Senga strained his right hamstring while covering first base on a high throw from Pete Alonso in the sixth inning of the Mets’ 4-3 win that completed a three-game sweep of the Nationals.
  • Mets manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed Senga will be placed on the 15-day injured list and undergo an MRI on Friday to assess the injury’s severity.
  • The ace had pitched 5.2 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and one walk and lowering his MLB-best ERA to 1.47 before exiting the game.
  • Veteran right-hander Paul Blackburn is expected to take Senga’s spot in the rotation, with Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea nearing returns from their rehab assignments.
  • First baseman Pete Alonso said he felt ‘awful’ about his high throw on the play, though Senga told teammates he felt the pull in his hamstring before making the leap.
