Overview
- Senga, pitching Friday for Double-A Binghamton, allowed one run on one hit and struck out five over six innings while throwing 75 pitches.
- He is working back from a lumbar spine injury that has kept him off New York’s MLB roster since April and is following a staged minor-league rehab plan.
- A brief ulnar nerve irritation scratched a scheduled start earlier this week but did not stop Friday’s strong performance.
- Senga topped out near 96 mph and used his signature 'shuuto' effectively, signaling a return of velocity and pitch command.
- The Mets have not finalized his next steps, though manager Carlos Mendoza said he would make another rehab start before the club considers activating him, and Senga’s availability could directly affect the rotation and the team’s playoff hopes.
