Good morning, Mets fans!
Per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, the Mets have announced that Kodai Senga will make a rehab start for the Binghamton Rumble Ponies today, June 11.
After he was scratched earlier in the week Senga said, “Obviously, the performance hasn’t been great on the field. Been practicing a little bit more and with that comes a little bit more fatigue. I got some treatment and the treatment effects were a little bit greater than I anticipated. It became a little bit more loose, so that caused the nerve sensations. It’s not like it’s inflamed, I wouldn’t say this is an injury. Going back to what I said earlier, continuing to strive for those mechanics, striving for health and getting back to the field I don’t think is too far.”
Clearly, it was not too far away.

In the most recent mock draft by Keith Law of The Athletic, Law mocks high school two-way shortstop Archer Horn to the Mets with the 27th overall pick in the major league draft. Archer is athletic with good bat speed. As a high school player, he would be a departure from the type of player Kris Gross and David Stearns tend to take with their first pick.
