Overview

  • Senga remains in Florida after a lukewarm live batting-practice session that Mendoza described as 'just OK' with reduced velocity near 93 mph.
  • The Mets manager signaled Senga is unlikely to take an immediate turn, including Sunday in Miami, making a postseason roster spot difficult without another appearance.
  • Optioned to Triple-A earlier this month for mechanical work, Senga produced mixed results with one strong start followed by a short, four-run outing.
  • Since returning from a June hamstring injury, Senga’s performance has sagged, including a 5.90 ERA over nine outings before the demotion.
  • New York is turning to rookies Brandon Sproat, Jonah Tong, and Nolan McLean to cover rotation needs, as the club still owes Senga roughly $30 million on his five-year, $75 million deal.
