Overview

  • Senga allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks over 3 2/3 innings, striking out four and throwing 68 pitches (44 strikes) for Double-A Binghamton on July 5.
  • Manager Carlos Mendoza said Senga feels fine physically and the team is weighing activating him in Kansas City next weekend or scheduling one more rehab appearance.
  • Fellow ace Sean Manaea is set to make his next minor-league rehab start Tuesday and could rejoin the rotation on the same pre-break timeline.
  • The Mets have 13 pitchers on the injured list and dropped 14 of 17 games after Senga’s hamstring strain, relying heavily on bullpen games and spot starters.
  • Before his injury, Senga posted a 7-3 record with a 1.47 ERA in 13 starts, anchoring a staff that ranked among MLB’s best in rotation ERA.
