According to manager Carlos Mendoza, Senga said he felt his hamstring grab one stride before he made a leaping grab of Alonso’s high throw.

There’s a saying in baseball that playing time seems to work itself out. That sure is true in Queens at the moment.

If Senga lands on the injured list for an extended period of time, the Mets will likely slide Paul Blackburn back into the rotation and call up reliever. When asked about using Blackburn, Mendoza said the right-hander will be available out of the bullpen for their next series against the Rays, and that they “will go from there.”
