Starting pitchers failed the Mets miserably in the three-game losing streak they took into a Wednesday doubleheader with the Cubs at Citi Field. Kodai Senga, David Peterson and Freddy Peralta allowed seven, four and 10 runs, respectively, in the losses. After throwing four scoreless innings, it looked like Nolan McLean would stop the bleeding. New York led 3-0. But with two outs and nobody on in...
Wednesday, June 24, 2026 • 1:10 PM Citi Field • Flushing, NY RHP Javier Assad (5-1, 3.89) vs. RHP Nolan McLean (4-4, 3.67) SNY Last night was more of the same for the Mets. Kodai Senga allowed a ton of runs early for the Mets, and they never were able to climb out of the hole, despite the Mets scoring six runs. Juan Soto left the game early when his back locked up. Francisco Lindor may be...
After struggling in his most recent start, the New York Mets have announced that Kodai Senga is being moved to the bullpen. Looking at his last start there are reasons to be potentially optimistic about this move. In the first inning Kodai Senga averaged 97.8 miles per hour on his fastball and ran a 50% whiff rate and 40% chase rate. He only threw his three best pitches, his fastball, forkball...
Today was a good day overall for the Mets’ minor league system with almost every level winning their games. Syracuse was led by rehabbing major leaguers, Brooklyn had an exciting walk-off, St. Lucie had great pitching, and the youngest prospects keep hitting. Triple-A Syracuse (39-37) 9, Lehigh Valley (35-41) 6 Box Score SS Francisco Lindor: 2-for-4, 2 R CF Tyrone Taylor: 3-for-5, HR, 2B,...
Before Kodai Senga took the Citi Field mound Tuesday, David Stearns told the media that the rotation will be judged on a “turn-by-turn” basis. After Senga left the mound, it was unclear if he would take his next turn. Senga (0-6) gave up seven earned runs on three hits, walked five, hit a batter and struck out six over 3 2/3 innings in the 9-6 loss to the Cubs (41-37) in front of...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets had three big leaguers rehabbing with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, and all three delivered excellent nights at the plate. Francisco Lindor went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored, Tyrone Taylor finished 3-for-5 with a double and a homer, and Ronny Mauricio drove in three runs while going 2-for-4. Lindor came away from the game healthy and could be activated for...
After a rainout series opener on Monday, the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs got their four-game series underway on Tuesday. It was right-handed pitcher Edward Cabrera (4-4, 5.10 ERA, 65 SO) on the mound for Chicago against the right-hander Kodai Senga (0-5, 10.08 ERA, 34 SO) on the hill for the Mets. Senga had a less-than-impressive outing yet again as his 2026 nightmare season continues. Senga...
The hits keep on coming. Juan Soto has left Tuesday’s game against the Cubs after the fourth inning with back tightness. He was replaced by Mark Vientos in the lineup, and Jared Young moved from first to left field. Soto was replaced after two at-bats. He was seen previously in the dugout with a brace/heating pad on his lower back. He was removed from the game with the team down 7-2 after...
Tuesday, June 23, 2026 • 7:10 PM Citi Field • Flushing, NY RHP Edward Cabrera (4-4, 5.21) vs. RHP Kodai Senga (0-5, 9.00) SNY The Mets are so close to things getting better (in theory). Francisco Lindor played a rehab game on Sunday with Tyrone Taylor. Christian Scott had a successful bullpen session and should start this weekend. The problem is that the team they are all coming back to is...
With the Mets set to play four games within 48 hours, what’s bothered the Mets the last month is in question again: what’s up with their rotation? While addressing the media Tuesday, David Stearns said the Mets will continue to evaluate the rotation on a “turn-by-turn” basis. Like the offense earlier in the year, Stearns said the team hasn’t received “consistent” performance from its...
Good morning, Mets fans! On Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reported that despite initial reports of Francisco Lindor returning to the Mets for a simulated game on Tuesday, the shortstop will complete an additional rehab game in Triple-A Syracuse. Assuming all goes well, Lindor could be activated as soon as Wednesday, and play as soon as Thursday after a rest day. Lindor’s return is...
The Mets will not play tonight. Due to weather, their game with the Cubs has been postponed to Wednesday as a split-doubleheader. The first game will start at 1:10 pm with Game 2 starting at 7:10 pm. Kodai Senga, who was supposed to start Monday, will get the start Tuesday against Edward Cabrera. Nolan McLean and Sean Manaea will both start in Wednesday’s games while Freddy Peralta closes out...
