Kodai Senga News: Sent to Triple-A

The Mets optioned Senga to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

Senga has struggled since the All-Star break, posting a 0-3 record, a 6.56 ERA and a 35:22 K:BB across eight starts spanning 35.2 innings. Amid Senga's struggles, manager Carlos Mendoza hinted Sunday that the Mets could look elsewhere for starts as they push for a playoff spot. Not only will Senga lose his spot in the rotation, but he's also agreed to a demotion as he tries to regain his form. Wander Suero will join the big-league club in a corresponding move. Per Andy Martino of SNY.tv, the Mets are hoping to recall Senga after a couple starts with Syracuse, though that will depend on how he fares.
