Kodai Senga - Needs one more rehab start Senga (shoulder/triceps) is expected to make another rehab start with Triple-A Syracuse this weekend, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact After building up to 4.2 innings and 67 pitches in his most recent rehab outing with Syracuse this past Sunday, Senga looked like he might have had a chance at making his next start with the big club, but the Mets will instead send him out for one more tune-up appearance in the minors. Assuming Senga is able to build on his pitch count and experiences no setbacks during his upcoming minor-league outing, he could return from the 60-day injured list to make his 2024 Mets debut during the club's home series with Atlanta that begins July 25. Senga was placed on the IL coming out of spring training with a strained right shoulder, then battled triceps inflammation during the rehab process that ended up setting him back further.

Nolan McLean - Scraps hitting McLean will focus on pitching going forward, SNY Mets reports.
Impact He cited the physical toll that doing both hitting and pitching was taking on his body, but his 52.2 percent strikeout rate in 69 plate appearances as a hitter at Double-A likely also factored into the decision. McLean is a very exciting pitching prospect, sporting one of the best high-spin sliders in the minors and a mid-90s fastball with good movement. There's perhaps another level of upside with McLean on the mound now, considering he had been trying to be a two-way player up until this point and can just focus on pitching going forward. The 6-foot-2 righty has been unlucky at Double-A (.358 BABIP, 21.1 HR/FB), leading to a 5.35 ERA and 1.55 WHIP, but his 3.86 xFIP hints that better days are ahead.

Alex Young - Claimed by Mets The Mets claimed Young off waivers from the Giants on Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact Young was traded from the Reds to the Giants for Austin Slater earlier this month and now will be moving on to a third organization in just over a week. The left-handed reliever has made three scoreless appearances in the majors this season and holds a 2.19 ERA and 23:8 K:BB over 24.2 frames during his time at the Triple-A level in 2024.

Tyler Jay - Booted off 40-man roster The Mets designated Jay for assignment Wednesday.
Impact Jay will cede his spot on the 40-man roster to another lefty reliever in Alex Young, whom the Mets claimed off waivers from the Giants on Wednesday. If Jay goes unclaimed through waivers, he'll stick around with the Mets organization as bullpen depth at Triple-A Syracuse.

Adam Ottavino - Losing high-leverage work Ottavino has posted a 4.89 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 47:13 K:BB through 35 innings with one win, one save and 13 holds in 36 appearances.
Impact The Mets' bullpen issues early in the season caused manager Carlos Mendoza to lean heavily on Ottavino, but the workload appears to have caught up with the 38-year-old righty. While his 30.7 percent strikeout rate is among the better marks in his career, Ottavino's 42.4 percent groundball rate is his lowest since he was pitching for the Rockies in 2017. He's also recorded only one of his 13 holds over the last month, as younger relief arms like Dedniel Nunez and Reed Garrett (elbow) have moved into high-leverage roles. If the Mets add further bullpen reinforcements ahead of the trade deadline, Ottavino's usage as a set-up man for Edwin Diaz could decline even further.

The Mets have not revealed their post-break rotation plans yet, so it's not clear when Peterson's first start of the second half will occur.
