Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said Friday that Senga (shoulder) will not begin a throwing program for another 7-to-10 days, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
It was reported earlier this week that Senga's throwing would be delayed one week, and it appears he might be held back even longer than that. The righty will undergo more imaging after resuming throwing before the club determines the next steps in his recovery. Stearns indicated that Senga has not had a setback with the moderate posterior capsule strain in his right shoulder, but rather the team's "internal pacing" points to a longer pause. An early May return for Senga now looks like it might be the best-case scenario.
