"New York also optioned catcher Hayden Senger and activated righty Wander Suero, whom they claimed off waivers yesterday. Senga's five-year, $75MM contract stipulated that he needed to consent to being optioned at any point, meaning he gave his approval for the move. It's obviously a bit surprising at first glance to see a former Rookie of the Year runner-up with a 3.02 ERA optioned to Triple-A, but the Mets have been mulling this move in recent weeks as Senga's struggles have mounted."
"but the Mets have been mulling this move in recent weeks as Senga's struggles have mounted. He's pitched to a bleak 6.56 ERA over his past eight starts and lasted only 35 2/3 innings in that time. He'll bite the bullet and head to the minors as he looks to get back on track before the Mets' overwhelmingly likely trip to the postseason."
Kodai Senga was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse with his consent as required by his five-year, $75 million contract. Francisco Alvarez was reinstated from the injured list, Hayden Senger was optioned, and Wander Suero was activated after being claimed off waivers. Senga has struggled recently, posting a 6.56 ERA over his last eight starts and recording only 35 2/3 innings in that span despite a 3.02 season ERA and former Rookie of the Year runner-up status. The demotion is intended to allow Senga to regain form before the Mets' likely postseason appearance.
