Mets' Senga, Soto, Lindor Injuries: Roster Shuffle

0:00On April 29th, Kodai sang a season hit another snag with the Mets placing him on the injured list retroactive to Monday. The right hander struggled Sunday, giving up three runs in two and two-thirds innings during a double-header loss to the Rockies. An MRI showed inflammation in his lower back and right hip so we got an epidural shot and won't throw for seven to ten days. The Mets are in a rough spot, tied with Philly for the worst record in baseball at nine and in nineteen after dropping fifteen of their last seventeen. Manager Carlos Mendoza said they didn't know the full extent until the MRI results came back and now they're shuffling the roster to stay afloat. Juan Soto's dealing with left forearm tightness so he's sticking to designated hitter duties after feeling pain while throwing over the weekend. His MRI was clean, no ligament damage, and he's getting treatment to hopefully return to the outfield soon without issues at the plate. Meanwhile, catcher Lewis Robert sat out with lower back tightness in his day-to-day after some Tuesday treatment.

1:01Francisco Lendor's already sideline with a strained left calf from last week, wearing a boot until a mid-may re-exam. To Phil Senga's spot, they called up righty Christian Scott from Tribal A Syracuse, who set to star Friday in Los Angeles against the Angels. David Peterson's bouncing back to the rotation for Wednesday's game against the Nationals after solid relief work. With all these injuries piling up, the meds are hoping for quick recoveries to turn this slump around before it gets worse. That's your update from MLB News Today, powered by AI.
