President of baseball operations David Stearns said Friday he was “optimistic” Senga would make it back.
PHILADELPHIA — Jose Quintana is all for Kodai Senga returning to the pitching staff when he’s recovered from the strained left calf that’s sidelined him since July.
“My focus is on my next start, but I think when Senga comes back, he’s gonna help us a lot, so whatever way I can help, I will do it,’’ Quintana said before the Mets. “It’s not a big deal. Right now, it’s not a time to be about myself. It’s about the team. If it’s good for the team, I’m open to doing it.”Stearns added that the team was “likely” to use Senga as a starter if he were able to pitch because that’s what Senga is accustomed to.
He’s allowed just one earned run in 25 innings in that stretch and is set to start against Washington Wednesday at Citi Field. J.D. Martinez hit two more balls hard Sunday, but is hitless in his last 16 at-bats and his OPS of .749 is the lowest it’s been since late May.
