Senger is sent down to make room for Francisco Alvarez after Alvarez came off the injured list. The 29-year-old backstop will provide insurance in Triple-A now that Alvarez is back.

Senger will back up Luis Torrens for now. He got into 33 games for the Mets last season and hit .181/.221/.194 in 78 plate appearances.

Senger heads back to the minors with Juan Soto back from the injured list. The 29-year-old didn’t end up making an appearance for the Mets after being called up last weekend.

Senger returns to the big leagues as a bench option to replace an injured Jorge Polanco (wrist) for at least a couple days. The 29-year-old backstop got into 33 contests for the Mets last year. He can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Senger will continue to function as emergency catching depth behind Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens. The 28-year-old backstop got into 33 contests for the Mets last year.

Senger was up to be the backup catcher with Luis Torrens on the injured list with a forearm contusion, but Torrens is back, so Senger must part.
