Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports his calf on July 26. Still, both he and the Mets know that it is more likely that he will be used as a reliever rather than the ace starter he has quickly become.
Senga had a catch on Sunday and is nearing the start of throwing off a mound — the best-case scenario being that he can return when there are five games left in the regular season later this month when the Mets are in Atlanta to face a Braves team they are currently chasing for the final postseason spot in the National League before a trip to Milwaukee to meet the Brewers.
The option of a multi-inning reliever is on the table, but the Mets have that option in Jose Butto. However, they recently have been using him more as an eighth-inning set-up option in front of Edwin Diaz while most of the rest of the bullpen struggles.
