Starling Marte - Could be available off benchMets manager Buck Showalter told reporters before their game against the Giants that Marte (neck) could be available off the bench for Friday's game, and he could return to the sta...

ImpactMarte is missing another game due to neck stiffness against the Giants on Friday, but it sounds like this is more precautionary than serious injury. If he's not able to return in those next two days it shouldn't be much longer before Marte is patrolling right field for the Mets, assuming there are no setbacks in his recovery.

Kodai Senga - Start pushed back to WednesdayMets manager Buck Showalter announced Friday that Senga will make his next start Wednesday against the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

ImpactSenga was originally scheduled to start Tuesday against the Nationals in Citi Field, but he'll get an extra day of rest. The Mets will need to make a decision for who will start Tuesday against Washington, and it could very well be Jose Butto that gets the ball for that outing.

Bryce Johnson - Still dealing with symptomsGiants manager Gabe Kapler told reporter's before Friday's game against the Mets that Johnson (concussion) is still experience some symptoms, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisc...

ImpactJohnson was placed on the 7-day concussion injured list last Friday, and while the outfielder was cleared to resume workouts, he's not ready to come off the list at this point. It's likely at this point the 27-year-old will need a rehab assignment before he rejoins the Giants, and there's no timetable for when that will occur.

Brandon Crawford - Discomfort in rib areaGiants managers Gabe Kapler told reporters before Friday's game against the Mets that Crawford is feeling discomfort in his rib area, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco report...

ImpactKapler may have been out of the lineup anyway because a southpaw is starting for the Mets in Joey Lucchesi, but Kapler notes that Crawford felt discomfort after diving to his left during Thursday's game against the Mets. The shortstop should be considered day-to-day with a good chance to return before the end of the weekend.

John Curtiss - Sent down to Triple-ACurtiss was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse by the Mets on Friday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

ImpactIt's a bit of a surprise that it's Curtiss gets the demotion to make room for Joey Lucchesi, but the Mets will keep arms like Edwin Uceta and Jeff Brigham on the roster as multi-inning options. It'd be a major upset if Curtiss wasn't back with the Mets by the end of April, if not sooner.

Joey Lucchesi - Officially recalled to make startLucchesi was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse by the Mets on Friday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

ImpactLucchesi officially gets the call to start against the Giants on Friday. The left-hander will be making his first MLB appearance since June 2021 as he's missed almost two years -- with the exception of late minor-league duty -- while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He pitched well with 15 strikeouts over 15.2 innings with Syracuse along with a 2.30 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over three starts in the minors, and he has had some success at the highest level while a member of the Padres.
