Overview

• Optioned to Triple-A on Sept. 5, Kodai Senga drew a "just OK" review from his latest live BP, with velocity sitting near 93 mph.
• Mendoza said Senga feels healthy but that "it's just not clicking," and he is not expected to start Sunday against the Marlins.
• Without a late-season appearance, adding him to a postseason roster would be difficult, increasing the chance he finishes 2025 without another MLB pitch.
• His recent minor-league work has been inconsistent, following a six-inning, one-run start with a 3.2-inning outing allowing four runs on six hits.
• With his return uncertain, New York is turning to rookies Brandon Sproat, Jonah Tong and Nolan McLean for scheduled rotation turns in the wild-card race.
