The New York Mets are grappling with a slew of injuries as they struggle on the field, having lost 15 of their last 17 games. Right-hander Kodai Senga has been placed on the injured list due to lumbar spine inflammation, following an MRI that revealed inflammation around the L4 and L5 vertebrae. Senga will not throw for the next week to 10 days and has had a difficult season, posting a 9.00 ERA over 20 innings. Meanwhile, outfielder Juan Soto is dealing with forearm tightness that has hindered his return to the outfield, although he will continue to serve as the designated hitter. Luis Robert Jr. is also sidelined with lower back tightness, and further testing may be required if his condition does not improve. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza emphasized the need for the team to push through these challenges, stating, “Nobody's going to feel sorry for us. But we got to keep going.” In response to Senga's injury, Christian Scott has been called up from Triple-A Syracuse to start in his place against the Los Angeles Angels.
