Mets Option Kodai Senga to Triple-A for Short Reset After Midseason Slide

The Mets describe a brief Syracuse assignment to recalibrate his mechanics in a controlled setting with his consent.

Overview

  • Senga agreed to the option, which his contract required, with SNY reporting he consented without issue and felt respected in the process.
  • His performance dipped after a June 12 hamstring strain, with a roughly 6.0 ERA over his last eight to nine starts as he reported lower‑body feel issues.
  • The plan in Syracuse begins with bullpen sessions before potential game action next weekend, with the stint expected to last about two starts.
  • Rookie Brandon Sproat takes Senga’s rotation turn as New York seeks stability for a postseason push.
  • The move does not affect his October eligibility because he remained in the organization before the Aug. 31 deadline.
