Tracking toward Friday start Senga (hamstring) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday and tentatively lines up to return from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's series opener in Kansas City,...

Impact The right-hander is one of two starters the Mets anticipate returning from the IL this weekend, as Sean Manaea (elbow/oblique) is on track to be activated from the 60-day IL to pitch in Sunday's series finale if he makes it out of a rehab start Tuesday without issue. Senga made a lone rehab start this past Saturday with Double-A Binghamton, covering 3.2 innings while striking out four and allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks. Despite the mediocre results, the Mets were more encouraged by the fact that Senga seemingly came out of the rehab start healthy while also tossing 68 pitches. Assuming he's ready to rejoin the rotation Friday, Senga would likely be operating with a light workload restriction in what would be his first start with the big club since June 12.

Poised to return next weekend Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday that Senga (hamstring) is likely to return from the 15-day injured list next weekend and is expected to start either Friday or Saturday in K...

Impact Before confirming which day Senga will return from the IL, the Mets will wait and see how he bounces back from the rehab start he made Saturday for Double-A Binghamton. The right-hander was charged with four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings, but the fact that he covered 68 pitches and experienced no complications with his hamstring is of greater importance than his results. Assuming he's given the green light to pitch this weekend, Senga shouldn't be operating with any significant restrictions in what would be his first start with the big club since June 12, though the Mets probably won't overextend him with the All-Star break looming.

Struggles in rehab start Senga (hamstring) gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings Saturday in his rehab start with Double-A Binghamton.

Impact Senga was expected to throw around 60 pitches Saturday before potentially returning from the 15-day injured list next weekend. He ended up covering 68 pitches Saturday, although the results weren't great. The Mets will likely wait and see how Senga bounces back from the rehab start before deciding whether he'll require another start on the farm or if he's ready to rejoin the big-league rotation.

Mets' Kodai Senga to Make Rehab Start Saturday; José Buttó Goes on 15-Day IL

Mets RHP Kodai Senga is to start a rehab assignment Saturday, while reliever José Buttó was put on the 15-day injured list Friday.

JULY 4 • FOX SPORTS

Saturday may be lone rehab start Senga (hamstring) will aim to throw around 60 pitches in his rehab start Saturday for Double-A Binghamton, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Impact If all goes well, Senga could rejoin the big-league rotation next week in Kansas City, per Castillo. That would seemingly line him up to start July 11 on an extra day of rest, as normal rest would be July 10 in Baltimore. Senga had a 2.15 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB in 29.1 innings over his five most recent starts prior to straining his right hamstring.

JULY 4 • Associated Press

Could return before All-Star break Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Thursday that Senga (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment either Saturday or Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact It could be the only rehab start Senga requires before rejoining the Mets' rotation. The club is hopeful that Sean Manaea (elbow/oblique) can make his season debut July 13, which likely sets Senga to rejoin the rotation July 12 in Kansas City, if all goes well in his rehab outing. Senga has been sidelined since mid-June with a right hamstring strain.
