Mets Weigh Minor-League Stint for Kodai Senga as Consent Decision Nears

Team officials expect clarity by Friday as they explore a temporary reset to address his post-injury slump.

Overview

  • Manager Carlos Mendoza said "everything's on the table," leaving Senga's next turn uncertain after his latest rough start.
  • A demotion would require Senga's approval under his contract, and he has indicated he will do what helps the team.
  • The club has asked Senga to accept a minor-league assignment, and team sources say an answer is expected by Friday.
  • David Peterson is slated for Friday in Cincinnati with Jonah Tong on Saturday, sources say the team is leaning toward Nolan McLean for Sunday, and Sean Manaea is lined up for Monday in Philadelphia.
  • Since returning from a June hamstring strain on July 11, Senga has a 5.90 ERA over nine starts after opening the season with a 1.47 ERA, including a 6.18 mark in August and 6.56 over his last eight outings.
