CINCINNATI — For the primary time since arriving stateside, a wholesome Kodai Senga can be a minor leaguer.
Senga has consented to be optioned to Triple-A Syracuse, the Mets introduced Friday, leaving the key league staff throughout a playoff chase so he can try and regain his type.
The 32-year-old, third-year Met may have declined the transfer, as stipulated in his contract, however he has accepted the demotion amid a brutal stretch wherein he owns a 6.56 ERA in his previous eight video games.
Sending Senga down now for the Mets, who’ve about three-and-a-half weeks left to play, does enable time for Senga to show he has mounted what had ailed him in time for a promotion later this month.
The Mets will name up Brandon Sproat to begin Sunday, primarily changing Senga as a sixth starter.
In different transactions earlier than starting a sequence at Nice American Ball Park, the Mets activated the just-claimed righty Wander Suero, optioned Hayden Senger and formally returned Francisco Alvarez from his rehab task.
