Overview

  • Mendoza declined to guarantee Senga a playoff berth and emphasized that final calls come after the last 10 regular-season games.
  • Optioned to Triple-A to work on mechanics, Senga was slated for a second start with Syracuse on Thursday night.
  • His first Syracuse outing featured six innings of one-run ball with eight strikeouts and no walks.
  • The Mets are considering using Senga out of the bullpen as right-handed relief depth is unsettled with Reed Garrett’s elbow putting his season in doubt.
  • Senga excelled early (1.47 ERA before a June hamstring strain) but struggled on return (0-3, 5.90 ERA), and he is not eligible to be activated until Saturday as the rotation also shifts without Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea and with rookies Nolan McLean, Jonah Tong, and Brandon Sproat contributing.
