"Senga's demotion comes after he failed to complete six innings since June 6 and posted a 6.56 ERA over his past eight starts. He also missed more than a month this season with a strained right hamstring. "I'm pretty sure we're going to have some discussions about what's next for him," Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said of Senga last weekend. "Our job is to get him right. But it's been a struggle.""
"Alvarez had been on the injured list since suffering an ulnar collateral ligament sprain in his right thumb last month. He then saw his return delayed by a fracture in the pinkie finger in his left hand suffered on a hit by pitch while playing for Syracuse. The UCL sprain will require surgery to fully heal, but the Mets are hopeful Alvarez can postpone the procedure until the offseason."
The New York Mets optioned right-hander Kodai Senga to Triple-A Syracuse following ongoing performance issues and injury troubles. Senga has not completed six innings in a start since June 6 and carried a 6.56 ERA across his last eight starts. He also missed over a month this season with a strained right hamstring. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza indicated the team will discuss Senga's next steps and focus on getting him right. The Mets activated catcher Francisco Alvarez from the injured list and claimed reliever Wander Suero off waivers. Alvarez suffered a UCL sprain in his right thumb and a subsequent left pinkie fracture, and the team hopes to delay the required UCL surgery until the offseason. Catcher Hayden Senger was optioned to Syracuse alongside Senga.
