Receives call-up The Mets recalled Senger from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

Impact Senger joined the big club after top backstop Francisco Alvarez (knee) was diagnosed with a torn meniscus following his departure from Tuesday's win over the Tigers and was moved to the 10-day injured list. With Alvarez likely to be shelved for at least a month, Senger should be in store for an extended stint with the big club. Even so, Senger may be in store for just a couple starts per week, as Luis Torrens is expected to settle in as the Mets' new primary catcher in Alvarez's absence.

Pulled from Tuesday's Triple-A game Senger was lifted from his game with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday ahead of a potential promotion, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Francisco Alvarez left the Mets' game early Tuesday with a potential knee injury and is headed for an MRI, and Senger got pulled at Syracuse soon afterward. If Alvarez is set to miss any time, Senger would be added to the 26-man roster to back up Luis Torrens behind the plate.

Sticking on bench Monday Senger is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Impact While Luis Torrens tended to a sore hand, Senger made three consecutive starts behind the plate from Thursday through Saturday, going 2-for-12 with four RBI and a run scored. Torrens returned to the lineup for Sunday's 4-3 win over Atlanta and will draw another start behind the plate in Monday's series opener versus the Phillies, so Senger looks set to see limited usage as the Mets' No. 2 backstop until Francisco Alvarez (thumb) returns from the injured list.

Mets hit 6 homers to support a strong start from Holmes in 9-2 win over Braves

Jeff McNeil and Mark Vientos each hit two of New York’s six home runs to back a steady pitching performance by Clay Holmes as the Mets beat the Atlanta Braves 9-2

AUGUST 24, 2025 • Associated Press

Drives in three Friday Senger went 2-for-5 with a run scored and three RBI in Friday's win over Atlanta.

Impact Called back up to the majors earlier in the week, Senger made his second straight start Friday and contributed to a 12-run eruption by the Mets offense with run-producing singles in the second and eighth innings. Luis Torrens will handle the majority of the work behind the plate while Francisco Alvarez (thumb) is sidelined once again, but Senger could see steady playing time if he keeps contributing with his bat -- all four of his RBI on the season have come in the last two games, and Torrens has a weak .186/.230/.214 slash line in 74 plate appearances since the beginning of July.
