Sammon makes it clear that the Mets have not stated a desire to trade Senga, but they are willing to listen to trade offers for him. The 32-year-old is only owed $28 million over the next two seasons, which is a reasonable amount for a pitcher with his raw stuff, but he has also dealt with injuries and mechanical concerns over the last couple of seasons. That could be a reason for the Mets to move on, but it could also dampen his value on the market. Of note is that “Senga moved from a full no-trade clause to a limited one this winter, in which he can block trades to 10 franchises.” This appears to be a situation to monitor this off-season.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Senga was sitting in the 93-mph range and there’s some concern that the Florida heat is leading to some fatigue. It seems highly unlikely New York will summon Senga for any sort of postseason role given how he’s looked in recent throwing sessions.

Senga looked great in his Triple-A start last week, and the Mets have not ruled him out of being on the postseason roster, should they make it. However, the 32-year-old would likely need another really strong start tonight in order to be in consideration.

Senga struck out eight and allowed one run over six innings last week in his Triple-A debut following an early-September demotion. The 32-year-old righty could be an option to rejoin New York’s rotation mix for the final week of the season, especially with Sean Manaea being moved to the bullpen.

Waiver claim Wander Suero takes his spot on the roster, though he might only be up for two days before Brandon Sproat debuts on Sunday. The Mets needed Senga’s permission to send him down and obviously got it. He still possesses an excellent 3.02 ERA for the season, but in eight second half starts, he had a 6.56 ERA and 22 walks in 35 2/3 innings. Ideally, he’ll get things ironed out and return as a postseason contributor for the Mets.

The move is a bit complicated because Senga “may not be assigned to the minors without his consent, according to his contract.” While the 32-year-old “said Tuesday night that he is willing to do whatever it takes for him to get better and help the team,” that doesn’t mean he would be open to a demotion of this caliber. However, Senga has really struggled of late, posting a 6.56 ERA in his last 35 2/3 innings. In that time, the Mets have seen Jonah Tong and Nolan McLean pitch well enough to warrant rotation spots alongside David Peterson and Sean Manaea, with Tylor Megill, Clay Holmes, and Brandon Sproat also options to fill in if Senga were to accept the demotion.

Senga gave up seven hits, walked two and struck out six. While Senga has a 3.02 ERA on the year, he’s been awful lately with a 6.06 ERA over his last seven starts. His xFIP of 4.33 on the season points to him being somewhere in the middle of these two extremes. Senga is lined up to face the Reds on the road next weekend, though fantasy managers will want to exercise caution with the 32-year-old right-hander.

Senga stayed in to start the fifth, but he exited after J.T. Realmuto took a pitch off this leg to open the inning. Fortunately, José Castillo got two grounders for three outs after taking over. Senga’s latest uninspiring performance saw him allow six hits, walk three and strike out four. His velocity is fine and he still could turn the corner at any time, but he’s 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA in 35 innings over eight starts since coming off the IL last month.

Senga’s second half struggles continued against the lowly Nationals here. He gave up runs in each of the third, fourth, and fifth innings. At first, a few well placed dribblers did him in. Then, the Nationals started to get around on him and had a handful of very hard-hit balls. It was all underscored by poor command, which has sadly become a bit of a trend lately. He has a two-start week coming up against the Phillies and Marlins with both starts at home.

Ozzie Albies was responsible for both runs off Senga, as he took the right-hander deep and also had an RBI single off the right-hander. Outside of that, it was a very strong outing for the 32-year-old, and you could easily argue it was his best start since the All-Star break. Unfortunately, the bullpen was unable to hold the lead, so no W. He’ll be back on the bump Wednesday against the Nationals.

Winding up with one of the strangest box scores you’ll ever see, Senga had an awful night here. He got through the first four innings unscathed despite constant traffic and poor command. Then, he botched a swinging bunt from Blake Perkins to start the fifth. It seemed like he lost focus, because Brice Turang took him deep on literally the next pitch. Then there was a catcher’s interference, two walks, and he was pulled. Apart from that chaotic inning, Senga wasn’t sharp at all. His fastball had a ghastly 35% zone rate and he forced just two total swings-and-misses, none of which with his patented ghost fork. It’s almost impossible to be effective when one throws that few fastballs for strikes, no matter how good their secondaries are. His next chance to get right will come at home against the Braves.

Senga just hasn’t been his usual self since returning from a hamstring injury, having walked 13 and given up 11 runs over 16 innings in four starts. Fortunately, the Mets have won all four games anyway, but Senga hasn’t factored into any of those decisions. Given that control seems like more of an issue than stuff here, it’s likely that Senga will bounce back.

The 32-year-old right-hander struggled with his command in this one, issuing five free passes while striking out three batters on the evening. All of the damage done against him came via long balls from Matt Chapman — a solo shot in the fourth inning and a go-ahead two-run blast in the fifth. Senga got nine swings and misses on 92 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 27 percent. He’ll carry a stellar 2.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and an 82/41 K/BB ratio (85 2/3 innings) into a rematch against the Giants at home on Saturday.

Senga gave up a homer to Logan O’Hoppe in the second and then three runs during a long third inning that ran his pitch count up to 73, and the Mets decided against bringing him back out for the fourth. It was both his shortest start of the year and the most earned runs he’s given up, as his ERA jumped from 1.39 to 1.79. He figures to be considerably better next time out against the Giants.

Senga gave up four hits, walked two and struck out four. The 32-year-old right-hander was pulled after just four innings and 67 pitches out of an abundance of caution. He didn’t quality for the win, but otherwise had a very successful return after landing on the injured list with a right hamstring strain. Senga will take a 1.39 ERA and 74/33 K/BB ratio in 77 2/3 innings into the All-Star break.

The 32-year-old right-hander will make his highly anticipated return to the Mets rotation on Friday night against the Royals. Before landing on the shelf right a right hamstring strain in early June, Senga had compiled a brilliant 1.47 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 70/31 K/BB ratio over 73 2/3 innings through his first 13 starts. Fantasy managers can safely activate and deploy the star right-hander for his return on Friday.

It’s now official after Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Senga would take the ball on Friday without any restrictions from a workload standpoint. He also added that southpaw Sean Manaea (oblique) is poised to come off the injured list to take the ball on Sunday for the club’s first-half finale in a piggyback start with Clay Holmes. There’s a chance this plan changes in the coming days, but it sounds like both Senga and Manaea will return later this week to provide the Mets with a lift.

This is assuming the 32-year-old emerges from his bullpen session on Wednesday without experiencing any setbacks. Senga threw 68 pitches in his last rehab appearance, so he should be built up to 75-80 pitches when he returns on Friday. With Sean Manaea also likely to return this weekend, the Mets seem to be on the verge of having their two aces back in the rotation once they return from the All-Star break.

Senga is on track to rejoin New York’s rotation sometime later next week, possibly Friday or Saturday, against the Royals. The 32-year-old threw 68 pitches on Saturday in his latest minor league rehab start for Double-A Binghamton.

Senga did get up to 68 pitches, and that’s probably more important than the line. He walked a pair with four strikeouts as he works his way back from the hamstring ailment that has sidelined him since the middle of June. Senga may need one more rehab start, but he should be back shortly after the All-Star break if there’s no setback.

The 32-year-old hurler has been shelved since mid-June due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain. Mendoza expressed optimism that Senga may only need one rehab start before he’s cleared to rejoin the Mets’ rotation — perhaps as early as next week. He has been outstanding when on the mound this season, registering a 1.47 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 70/31 K/BB ratio over 73 2/3 innings through his first 13 starts.

Senga told reporters he’s been able to keep his arm in shape while recovering from a hamstring strain and hopes to return before too long. The 32-year-old righty hit the injured list back in mid-June with a Grade 1 strain and should be able to make it back to New York by mid-July, if not sooner.

All things considered, that’s the best possible news that the Mets could have heard following Senga’s evaluation. He’ll rest for a couple of weeks before being reassessed. It sounds like if everything goes according to plan, he should be able to rejoin the Mets’ rotation before the All-Star break.

Senga will be out for at least two weeks, but it’ll likely be a longer stint than the minimum requirement. The Mets recalled reliever Max Kranick from Triple-A to replace Senga on the active roster, but they’ll need to make an adjustment to the rotation in the coming days.

The 32-year-old right-hander fell while attempting to make a play at first base during Thursday’s ballgame. The extent of the injury is not yet known — as he’ll undergo an MRI exam on Friday — but he’s going to miss a couple of weeks at a minimum regardless. It’s a tough break for the Mets and for fantasy managers who have been enjoying strong production from Senga this season.

He threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings with six strikeouts before leaving. Senga took a fall while attempting to make a play at first base, and was on the ground for a considerable amount of time. The right-hander was able to leave on his own accord, but exited the game regardless. There should be an update on his status shortly.

Usually, when a pitcher only gives up one run over six innings in Coors Field, that’s good enough to win the game. However, the Mets offense didn’t wake up until the seventh inning so Senga had to settle for a no-decision despite another tremendous outing. He leaned on his renowned ghost-fork, throwing it nearly twice as much as any other offering. Its 47% usage rate is the most he’s ever thrown it during a single start in his career. It still forced 14 swings-and-misses as Senga used it to work out of trouble on more than a few occasions. His next start is scheduled to come at home against the Nationals.

Senga gave up a first-inning homer to Ezequiel Tovar and then retired 17 in a row until the seventh, when he walked two and allowed an RBI single. That meant his ERA climbed today, increasing from 1.46 to 1.60, so consider that a rare positive accomplishment for the Rockies offense on the road. Senga will face the team again, this time in Coors, next weekend.
