Kodai Senga won't pitch for Mets in regular season after feeling triceps tightness
Mets pitcher Kodai Senga felt tightness in his right triceps during a minor league rehab outing and won’t pitch during the regular seasonSEPTEMBER 22 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kodai Senga - Out through regular season Manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday that Senga (calf) will not return during the regular season after the right-hander felt tightness in his triceps during a rehab outing with Tripl...
Impact Senga will continue to throw, which suggests a return during the postseason may still be on the table, but he will end the regular season having made a lone appearance with the big club. The 31-year-old began the season on the injured list with a shoulder strain and then strained his calf in his 2024 debut in July. His innings will be tough to project in 2025 after the injury-plagued season.

Tyrone Taylor - Taking on regular role Taylor will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Impact Taylor will pick up his seventh start in eight games and may have settled into a regular spot in the lineup at the expense of J.D. Martinez, who is in the midst of an 0-for-30 stretch at the plate and will take a seat for the second day in a row. Dating back to the second week of September, Taylor is slashing .385/.484/.654 with one home run, one stolen base, six runs and three RBI over a stretch of 11 games.

J.D. Martinez - On bench again Sunday Martinez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Martinez is in the midst of a career-worst stretch at the plate, having gone 0-for-his-last-30, which is also the longest slump by a Met this season. This will be his second straight absence, and Saturday's absence came against an opposing lefty starter. The 37-year-old may have played his way out of the regular lineup.

Luisangel Acuña - Goes yard again Saturday Acuna went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.
Impact The 22-year-old has been on fire since getting promoted last weekend, batting .385 (10-for-26) in his first eight big-league games with six extra-base hits, including three homers. Acuna's power display is especially impressive considering he hit only seven home runs in 131 games at Triple-A this season. Francisco Lindor (back) should return to the lineup any day now and reclaim the starting job at shortstop, but with a playoff spot on the line, the Mets could keep Acuna's red-hot bat in the lineup at another position.
SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Francisco Alvarez - Power surge continues Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.
Impact The 22-year-old catcher stayed hot, taking Ranger Suarez deep for a solo shot in the second inning before adding a two-run double in the seventh off Orion Kerkering. Alvarez has 11 homers on the season, and five of them have come in his last nine games -- a stretch in which he's batting .286 (8-for-28) with 13 RBI.
SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Edwin Díaz - Nails down 19th save Diaz struck out two in 1.1 perfect innings of relief Saturday to record his 19th save of the season in a 6-3 win over the Phillies.
Impact The right-hander fanned Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper en route to his fifth straight save conversion. Diaz has been scored upon only once in his last 12 appearances, posting a 0.79 ERA, 0.53 WHIP and 21:1 K:BB through 11.1 innings over that stretch, and he appears to be back in elite form as the Mets try to lock down a playoff spot.
SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Sean Manaea - Notches 12th win Manaea (12-5) picked up the win in Saturday's 6-3 victory over the Phillies, giving up three runs on three hits over seven innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.
Impact Solo shots by Kyle Schwarber to lead off the game and Nick Castellanos in the fifth inning accounted for most of the damage off Manaea, but he was otherwise locked in as he won his fourth straight decision. The quality start was the southpaw's third straight and seventh in his last eight outings, a stretch in which he's posted a 2.95 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 58:10 K:BB through 55 innings. Manaea is scheduled to make his final start of the regular season on the road next week against Atlanta -- the team closest to the Mets in the race for the final wild-card spot in the NL.
