BREAKING: The New York Mets have just announced the demotion of struggling right-hander Kodai Senga to Triple-A Syracuse. This urgent move comes as Senga has faced significant challenges on the mound, failing to complete six innings in any start since June 6 and posting a troubling 6.56 ERA over his last eight outings.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza indicated that the team will have discussions about Senga’s future. “Our job is to get him right. But it’s been a struggle,” Mendoza stated, highlighting the tough road ahead for the pitcher. Senga’s season has also been marred by injury, as he missed over a month due to a strained right hamstring.
This demotion comes on the heels of the Mets activating catcher Francisco Alvarez from the injured list. Alvarez had been sidelined with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right thumb, further complicated by a fracture in his left pinkie finger that delayed his return. The Mets remain hopeful that Alvarez can defer the surgery required for full recovery until the offseason.
In another significant roster move, catcher Hayden Senger was also optioned to Syracuse alongside Senga. These changes reflect the Mets’ urgent need to recalibrate their roster as they continue to navigate a challenging season.
Fans are eager to see how these decisions will impact the team moving forward. The Mets are determined to find solutions as they face heightened expectations. This latest development emphasizes the urgency for improvement as the team aims to secure better performance in the coming games.
Stay tuned for more updates on Senga’s progress and the Mets’ evolving roster as the season unfolds.
