Mets' Kodai Senga to Make Rehab Start Saturday; José Buttó Goes on 15-Day IL

Moves to injured list Butto was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to an unspecified illness, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact The organization isn't releasing the specifics of the ailment out of respect for Butto's family, but he's expected to be back shortly after the All-Star break. Chris Devenski was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to fill the open bullpen spot.

Notches first save of season Butto earned a save against the Dodgers on Monday, retiring both batters he faced in the 10th inning.

Impact Mets closer Edwin Diaz blew a save in the ninth frame, so New York needed to go to a different reliever after scoring twice in the top of the 10th. Manager Carlos Mendoza initially called upon Jose Castillo, but he retired just one batter while allowing two Dodgers to reach base. Mendoza then turned to Butto, who got pinch hitter Will Smith to fly out before retiring Tommy Edman on a groundout with the tying run on third base. Butto came into Monday having given up four runs over four innings across his previous four outings, and he's not a threat to Diaz's role as closer, especially since the latter has been great this season -- Monday marked Diaz's first blown save of the campaign.

Available in relief Monday Butto (groin) is listed as an available relief option for Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays, Manny Gomez of NJ.com reports.

Impact Butto hasn't made any appearances since March 7 while tending to a minor groin injury, but after throwing a bullpen session over the weekend without issue, he looks like he'll be incorporated into the Mets' spring pitching schedule Monday. The 26-year-old right-hander should have an inside track on a spot in New York's Opening Day bullpen after submitting a 2.55 ERA and 1.07 WHIP while striking out 79 batters over 74 innings during the regular season in 2024.

MARCH 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Managing groin issue Butto has been sitting out due to a minor groin injury but is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander made four appearances in spring training prior to the injury and gave up a run on three hits with three strikeouts and two walks over 3.2 innings. Assuming Butto is able to avoid a setback, it doesn't appear the injury will affect his availability for Opening Day.

MARCH 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Staying in bullpen Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Butto will remain in the team's bullpen, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Butto made seven starts for the Mets in 2024 and has been a starter throughout the minors, but he found his niche in the bullpen down the stretch last season, collecting a 2.00 ERA and 41:17 K:BB over 36 regular-season innings. The righty will be tasked with getting some key outs in a setup role.

Notches save Saturday Butto earned a save against the White Sox on Saturday, allowed one run on three hits in one inning.

Impact The Mets held a three-run lead heading into the bottom of the ninth inning and turned to Butto to close things down. The right-hander didn't cruise, giving up a run on a trio of hits and allowing the tying run to reach first base, but he was ultimately successful in converting his third save of the campaign. Butto isn't a threat to Edwin Diaz's job as closer; Diaz was simply unavailable after pitching on three straight days.

Nabs sixth win Butto (6-3) picked up the win Thursday, walking one batter in a scoreless inning of relief.

Impact The right-hander threw only nine of 20 pitches for strikes but escaped the eighth inning unscathed to protect a 2-2 tie, and Butto became the pitcher of record when the Mets went ahead in the top of the ninth. He's had trouble finding the plate consistently for a couple weeks now, and Butto has walked at least one batter in six straight appearances, posting a 4.32 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 9:7 K:BB in 8.1 innings over that stretch. Given the injuries in the Mets' bullpen however, with Dedniel Nunez (forearm) the latest to go down, Butto will likely continue to be deployed in high-leverage spots.

Notches three-inning save Butto gave up a run on four hits and a walk over three innings to record his second save of the season in Monday's win over the Twins. He struck out two.

Impact The 26-year-old righty gave the rest of the Mets' bullpen a breather in a 15-2 rout, firing 44 pitches (27 strikes) to close things out. Butto has thrown at least 40 pitches in three of his last five appearances, posting a 1.54 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB in 11.2 innings over that stretch. If New York can't bring in rotation reinforcements at Tuesday's trade deadline, it wouldn't be a surprise if Butto gets stretched back out for a starting role.

Secures first career save Butto earned a save against the Nationals on Wednesday, striking out two batters over 1.1 perfect innings.

Impact Butto entered in the top of the eighth inning with a runner on base and two outs. He retired Lane Thomas on a strikeout to keep the Mets ahead 5-2, then watched as New York added an insurance run in the bottom of the frame. Since closer Edwin Diaz would no longer be entering in a save situation, Butto remained in the contest for the ninth and retired all three batters he faced to clinch his first save as a major-leaguer. The right-hander's first seven outings this season came as a starter, but he's now made three appearances out of the bullpen since being called up July 2 and has picked up two wins and Wednesday's save while tossing five scoreless frames.

JULY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned to help bullpen The Mets recalled Butto from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact All seven of Butto's 2024 appearances with the Mets to this point have come as a starting pitcher, but he will be used in relief this time around in order to provide some length for an overused bullpen. The right-hander has collected a 3.08 ERA and 38:21 K:BB over 38 innings in the majors this season.
