Kodai Senga will return to Mets' rotation on Tuesday after Christian Scott goes on IL

New York Mets pitcher Kodai Senga will be activated off the injured list on Tuesday and make his first start since late April against the Cincinnati Reds

JUNE 15 • Associated Press

Rejoining rotation Tuesday Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Monday that Senga (spine/arm) will start Tuesday's game in Cincinnati, Chelsea Janes of SNY.tv reports.

Impact He had been slated to make one more rehab start, but the injury to Christian Scott (hip) has pushed up Senga's timetable. Senga first went on the injured list in late April with lumbar spine inflammation and later had his rehab assignment briefly stalled because of ulnar nerve irritation in his right arm. However, he resumed his rehab assignment with Double-A Binghamton and allowed just one earned run over six innings. Senga threw 75 pitches in that start, so he'll be close to fully stretched out against the Reds. The 33-year-old registered a 9.00 ERA and 1.95 WHIP over 20 innings in his five starts with the Mets earlier this season.

Needs another rehab start Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Friday that Senga (spine/arm) will require at least one more minor-league rehab start before the organization considers activating him from the 15-...

Impact The right-hander had his rehab outing pushed back early this week due to ulnar nerve irritation in his right arm, but he was able to take the mound with Double-A Binghamton on Thursday and gave up just one run across six innings. Senga built up to 75 pitches in that start, so he's already most of the way to a full starting workload and could re-enter the Mets' rotation with another solid showing in the minor leagues.

Impact Senga was on the mound for the fourth start of his minor-league rehab assignment, toeing the rubber two days after initially expected due to a flare up of ulnar nerve irritation earlier in the week. The right-hander delivered his best performance of the rehab assignment, albeit with the Double-A squad, tossing 51 of his 75 total pitches for strikes. The Mets will likely wait and see how Senga's body responds to Thursday's workload before deciding what the next steps are in his recovery.

Resuming assignment Thursday Senga (spine/arm) will resume his rehab assignment at Double-A Binghamton on Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Senga was originally slated to make his fourth rehab appearance Tuesday but was scratched due to ulnar nerve irritation. Now seemingly past the issue, he'll return to minor-league action Thursday and continue his journey back from lumbar spine inflammation, which has kept him on the injured list since late April. It's unknown how close Senga is to returning to the Mets' rotation, though a strong showing Thursday would likely go a long way toward shortening his stay on the IL.

Scratched from rehab start Senga (spine) will not make his scheduled rehab start with Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday due to ulnar nerve irritation in his right arm, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Senga had been slated for his fourth rehab outing as he works his way back from lumbar spine inflammation, but now he has a new injury to deal with. The Mets have not revealed a timeline for when Senga might be ready to pitch again, but this is likely a significant setback. Senga has been shelved since late April.

Mets play the Cardinals after Benge's 5-hit game

The New York Mets play the St. Louis Cardinals after Carson Benge had five hits against the Padres on Sunday

JUNE 9 • Associated Press

Lacks control in third rehab start Senga (spine) struck out five and allowed three earned runs on six hits and two walks across five innings in a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Syracuse.

Impact Though Senga was able to build up to 91 pitches (54 strikes) during the third start of his rehab assignment, his control once again left something to be desired. In addition to issuing the two free passes, Senga hit two batters and threw two wild pitches. Overall, Senga has turned in a 5.25 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over 12 innings between his two starts with Syracuse and one with Single-A St. Lucie, so he'll likely need to show some better results in the minors before the Mets consider activating him from 15-day injured list and adding him to the big-league rotation. Per MLB.com, Senga is expected to make his next rehab start Tuesday with Double-A BInghamton.

Third rehab start Wednesday Senga (spine) will pitch Wednesday for Triple-A Syracuse, reports Mike Puma of the New York Post.

Impact Senga will aim to throw around 85 pitches in his next rehab start on Wednesday for Triple-A Syracuse. If this start goes according to plan, the 33-year-old could potentially return to the big-league club following this appearance. In seven innings, Senga has recorded a 5.14 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB during his two rehab starts.
