Mets manager Buck Showalter announced Friday that Senga will make his next start Wednesday against the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Senga was originally scheduled to start Tuesday against the Nationals in Citi Field, but he'll get an extra day of rest. The Mets will need to make a decision on who will start Tuesday against Washington, and it could be Jose Butto getting the ball for that outing.

Lucchesi was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse by the Mets on Friday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

Lucchesi officially gets the call to start against the Giants on Friday. The left-hander will be making his first MLB appearance since June 2021 as he's missed almost two years while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He's pitched well to begin the year with Syracuse, racking up 15 strikeouts over 15.2 innings along with a 2.30 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over three starts, and he has had some success in the past at the highest level while a member of the Padres.

Garrett will start the second half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Garrett was supposed to toe the rubber for the Marlins in Friday's series opener, but that game got postponed a day because of inclement weather in Cleveland. The 25-year-old holds a 3.38 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB through 13.1 innings (two starts, one relief appearance) this season.

Cueto (biceps) is scheduled to pitch in an extended spring training game Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cueto has made it through a couple of bullpen sessions without issue and will now begin building back up in live competition. The veteran right-hander was placed on the injured list April 4 due to a biceps issue that first flared up in spring training. Assuming there are no setbacks, he could return to the Marlins' rotation in early May.

Burnes (pectoral) threw a bullpen session Friday without issue, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

This comes after a successful light side session Wednesday. Burnes tweaked his left (non-throwing) pectoral muscle Monday versus the Mariners but is expected to take the mound for his normal turn in the rotation Sunday against the Red Sox. It appears the Brewers avoided a major scare here.

Rogers was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to April 20, with a left biceps strain, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rogers was lifted from his last start Wednesday versus the Giants after experiencing tightness in his throwing arm, and imaging scans ultimately revealed the strain. There is no public timeline yet for his return, but this type of injury usually requires several weeks of rest and rehab. The 25-year-old southpaw leaves behind a 4.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB in four starts covering 18 innings.

The Dodgers transferred Pepiot (oblique) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Pepiot has yet to resume throwing after straining an oblique in late March, so the Dodgers' decision to rule him out through late May by pushing him to the 60-day IL isn't overly surprising. The transaction also clears a spot on the 40-man roster.

Stone is being considered for a start with the Dodgers next week, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

A spot opened up with Michael Grove (groin) landing on the injured list. Stone is just one of the options to fill in, as the Dodgers are also mulling bringing Tony Gonsolin (ankle) back early or shortening the rotation for a turn. It might not be the best timing for Stone's debut, as he's off to a slow start at Triple-A Oklahoma City with a 7.20 ERA and 12:8 K:BB over 15 innings. However, he remains one of the team's top pitching prospects so there would be plenty of intrigue if he does garner the call.

Gonsolin (ankle) could rejoin the Dodgers' rotation rather than make another rehab start, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Michael Grove (groin) has landed on the injured list, creating an opening in the rotation. The team could just skip his turn since they have an off day Monday, but bringing Gonsolin back early or promoting Gavin Stone are also options. Gonsolin went only three-plus innings in his first rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday but he looked sharp, striking out seven while yielding two earned runs on one hit and two walks. He threw 57 pitches in the outing, so the righty would be on an abbreviated pitch count if the Dodgers do decide to activate him next week in Pittsburgh.

Los Angeles placed Grove (groin) on the 15-day injured list Friday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Grove tweaked his right groin in the bullpen prior to his start Thursday against the Cubs and then was removed from the outing in the fourth inning when it flared up on him. The injury isn't considered serious, so Grove has a shot at returning from the IL in the minimum 15 days.
