The Mets moved right-hander Kodai Senga from the rotation to the bullpen after a dramatic downturn dating back to last year, highlighted by a lumbar injury and a rough 2026 stretch that included a 27 earned runs in 16 innings since returning. Despite a strong spring, his season has cratered with high walks, homers, and ERA spikes. The Mets will patch the rotation with Nolan McLean, Freddy Peralta, David Peterson and Sean Manaea while evaluating whether a relief role can salvage Senga’s value or lead to further roster moves.
The New York Mets placed pitcher Kodai Senga on the 15-day injured list with lumbar spinal inflammation and recalled right-hander Christian Scott from Triple-A Syracuse to fill his spot. Senga has struggled this season after an encouraging spring, with diminished velocity and command in his last few starts. Scott, a former top prospect returning from Tommy John surgery, will try to stabilize the rotation while Senga is out, as the Mets navigate a rough start and look for options to steady the staff.
The New York Mets were routed 12-4 by the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, extending their nine-game skid—the club’s longest since 2004. Kodai Senga gave up seven runs in 3 1/3 innings, including two homers, while a defensive miscue contributed an unearned run. The Mets totaled 14 hits but lacked big hits, and manager Carlos Mendoza, backed by David Stearns, said the team must play more consistently and may consider rotation tweaks to stop the slide.
Freddy Peralta has joined the Mets with extension talks likely taking a back seat while he acclimates, and the club remains hopeful but private on a future deal; Carson Benge is still in the mix for a spring roster spot at left field amid ongoing roster reshuffling, while Kodai Senga is expected to be in the rotation. If healthy, the Mets could run a six-man rotation (Peralta, Senga, Manaea, Peterson, Holmes, McLean) and lean on defensive depth with Soto in right, Robert in center, and Taylor in left as Benge develops.
