Overview

  • Manager Carlos Mendoza said Senga is not a definite for the playoff roster and will be evaluated after his minor-league starts.
  • Optioned on Sept. 5, Senga logged six innings of one-run, eight-strikeout, zero-walk ball in his Syracuse debut and was slated for a second start Thursday.
  • The Mets entered Thursday 1.5 games up for the final NL playoff spot with roughly 10 regular-season games remaining.
  • Reed Garrett went back on the injured list with a right elbow sprain, and the club recalled Huascar Brazobán, Chris Devenski and Wander Suero.
  • Team president David Stearns said a bullpen role for Senga remains in play, and Senga becomes eligible to return to the majors on Saturday.
