Back to minors The Mets optioned Senger to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

Impact Francisco Alvarez (triceps) was cleared to play Wednesday and Luis Torrens (forearm) is back from the injured list, so there's no longer a spot on the active roster for Senger. The 28-year-old Senger has a .415 OPS in 33 games with the Mets in 2025.

Returned to Triple-A The Mets optioned Senger to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

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.

Back in majors The Mets recalled Senger from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

Impact Francisco Alvarez (thumb) is headed back to the injured list, so Senger will rejoin the Mets to serve as the club's backup catcher. The 28-year-old has a .174/.208/.196 slash line in 49 MLB plate appearances this year, and he isn't likely to see much playing time behind fill-in starter Luis Torrens.

Moves to Triple-A The Mets optioned Senger to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

Impact With Francisco Alvarez making his return to the Mets' active roster after getting called up from Triple-A, the big club had no need to carry Senger as a third catcher behind Alvarez and Luis Torrens.
