Jose Herrera

AZ Catcher #11

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

José Herrera left Friday’s game in the fifth inning after being hit on the top of his helmet with Kyle Tucker’s backswing.

Tucker’s bat came right down on the crown of Herrera’s helmet, seemingly leaving him dazed. Adrian del Castillo took over as Arizona’s catcher. Andrew Knizner would likely get a callup if Herrera lands on the concussion IL.

Jonathan Bowlan

PHI Relief Pitcher #52

Christian Scott

NYM Starting Pitcher #45

Mets recalled RHP Christian Scott from Triple-A Syracuse.

Scott takes the roster spot of Kodai Senga, with Senga hitting the injured list with spine inflammation. The 26-year-old could get a chance to be a starter in the coming days, but also could offer the Mets a multi-inning arm in Senga’s absence.

Kodai Senga

NYM Starting Pitcher #34

Mets placed RHP Kodai Senga on the 15-day injured list with lumbar spine inflammation.

Senga has really struggled in 2026, and after allowing three runs and going just 2 2/3 innings against the Rockies on Sunday, he now has an ERA of 9.00 on the season. The spinal injury will keep him out at least two weeks, but a better idea of when Senga will be able to return to the New York rotation.
