Mets option Senga to minors and activate Alvarez from injured list
Kodai Senga, facing a 6.56 ERA over eight starts and hamstring injury struggles, accepted a demotion to Triple-A Syracuse to regain form as Mets strengthen roster for playoff push.
- On September 5, 2025, the New York Mets sent Kodai Senga down to their Triple-A affiliate in Syracuse and activated catcher Francisco Alvarez from the injured list.
- The Mets made this move due to Senga's struggles since returning from a right hamstring injury and previous shoulder and calf strains, while Alvarez was recovering from a thumb ligament sprain.
- Senga has struggled this season, accumulating three losses and a 6.56 ERA over eight outings, while managing to pitch on regular rest just once; meanwhile, Alvarez finished a rehab stint that featured a grand slam before being reactivated.
- Manager Carlos Mendoza said Senga has put in significant effort but had disappointing results recently, prompting the team to consider other starters like prospect Brandon Sproat for the rotation.
- The reassignment aims to help Senga refine his mechanics and regain form during a critical stretch as the Mets pursue a National League wild card spot, while Alvarez bolsters the lineup despite needing offseason surgery.
