Senga Shines in Rehab Start as Prospects Bolster Mets Depth
The strong outing reduces concern about his recent ulnar nerve irritation and could shift short-term rotation plans for New York.
Overview
- Kodai Senga resumed his Double-A rehab and delivered his best outing to date, tossing six innings with one hit, one run, five strikeouts and one walk in a game that Binghamton lost 3-1.
- Senga had been scratched from his prior rehab appearance for ulnar nerve irritation and had allowed seven earned runs in 12 innings across earlier starts, so Friday’s performance eased immediate health questions.
- Left-hander Nicolas Carreno dominated in his first High-A start for Brooklyn, striking out nine over six innings while allowing one run, a result that advances his standing in the Mets’ prospect pool.
- Triple-A catcher Kevin Parada continued a strong offensive stretch for Syracuse and Jack Wenninger turned in a quality five-inning start but took the loss, highlighting inconsistent run support at the upper levels.
- The combined outings sharpen organizational depth options with no major-league roster moves announced yet and with the Mets watching rotation performance closely given ongoing issues from some big-league starters.
