Mets Demote Struggling Senga to Triple-A Amid Performance Woes
UPDATE: The New York Mets have just announced the demotion of struggling right-hander Kodai Senga to Triple-A Syracuse. This urgent move comes after a series of disappointing performances, as Senga has failed to complete six innings since June 6 and carries a troubling 6.56 ERA over his last eight starts.
This decision highlights the Mets’ need to address immediate pitching concerns as they strive for a turnaround. Senga’s recent performance has raised alarms within the organization, prompting Mets manager Carlos Mendoza to acknowledge, “I’m pretty sure we’re going to have some discussions about what’s next for him.” The urgency is palpable: the Mets must find a way to get Senga back on track as they deal with mounting pressure from fans and analysts alike.
In a related development, the Mets activated catcher Francisco Alvarez from the injured list. Alvarez has been sidelined since suffering an ulnar collateral ligament sprain in his right thumb last month, with his return further delayed by a fracture in his pinkie finger. The team is hopeful that Alvarez can postpone surgery until the offseason to ensure he contributes for the remainder of the season.
Additionally, right-handed reliever Wander Suero has been claimed off waivers from the Atlanta Braves and is expected to bolster the bullpen. To make room for these moves, catcher Hayden Senger has also been optioned to Syracuse alongside Senga.
The Mets face a critical juncture in their season as they aim to stabilize their roster and improve performance. Fans are eager to see how these changes will impact the team moving forward, especially as they navigate a challenging schedule ahead.
Stay tuned for more updates on Senga’s progress and the Mets’ ongoing roster adjustments as they seek to regain their competitive edge.
