The Mets optioned Senger to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.
Francisco Alvarez (triceps) was cleared to play Wednesday and Luis Torrens (forearm) is back from the injured list, so the Mets no longer had room on the active roster for Senger. The 28-year-old Senger has produced a .415 OPS in 33 games with the Mets in 2025.

Mets' Hayden Senger: Sticking on bench Monday
Rotowire
Senger is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
While Luis Torrens tended to a sore hand, Senger made three consecutive starts behind the plate from Thursday through Saturday, going 2-for-12 with four RBI and a run scored. Torrens returned to the lineup for Sunday's 4-3 win over Atlanta and will draw another start behind the plate in Monday's series opener versus the Phillies, so Senger looks set to see limited usage as the Mets' No. 2 backstop until Francisco Alvarez (thumb) returns from the injured list.

Mets' Hayden Senger: Drives in three Friday
Rotowire
Senger went 2-for-5 with a run scored and three RBI in Friday's win over Atlanta.
Called back up to the majors earlier in the week, Senger made his second straight start Friday and contributed to a 12-run eruption by the Mets offense with run-producing singles in the second and eighth innings. Luis Torrens will handle the majority of the work behind the plate while Francisco Alvarez (thumb) is sidelined once again, but Senger could see steady playing time if he keeps contributing with his bat -- all four of his RBI on the season have come in the last two games, and Torrens has a weak .186/.230/.214 slash line in 74 plate appearances since the beginning of July.

Mets' Hayden Senger: Back in majors
Rotowire
The Mets recalled Senger from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.
Francisco Alvarez (thumb) is headed back to the injured list, so Senger will rejoin the Mets to serve as the club's backup catcher. The 28-year-old has a .174/.208/.196 slash line in 49 MLB plate appearances this year, and he isn't likely to see much playing time behind fill-in starter Luis Torrens.
The Mets optioned Senger to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.
With Francisco Alvarez making his return to the Mets' active roster after getting called up from Triple-A, the big club had no need for Senger as a third catcher behind Alvarez and Luis Torrens. Senger saw limited playing time during his month-long stint with the big club, appearing in eight games while going 3-for-18 at the dish.

Mets' Hayden Senger: Returning to bench role
Rotowire
Senger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Senger had started behind the dish in six of the previous seven games, but he'll likely see his playing time take a hit now that Luis Torrens has recovered from a bruised forearm. Senger may soon find himself off the 26-man active roster entirely, as Francisco Alvarez (hand) has already begun a minor-league rehab assignment and is nearing reinstatement from the 10-day injured list.

Senger was originally slated to begin the game on the bench, but he'll instead start behind the plate due to Torrens' forearm injury. This will be just the second start of the season for Senger, and to this point he's gone 1-for-3 with a double.

Mets' Hayden Senger: Added to Opening Day roster
Rotowire
The Mets selected Senger's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.
Senger made the Opening Day roster as a backup catcher and made his MLB debut in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Astros, striking out in his lone plate appearance. The 28-year-old is likely to see limited playing time at catcher behind Luis Torrens and should head to the minors once Francisco Alvarez (hand) is ready to return from the injured list.

Mets' Hayden Senger: Making push for 26-man roster
Rotowire
Senger could open the season as the Mets' No. 2 catcher behind Luis Torrens, Tim Britton of the Athletic reports.
Internal options for catching depth are limited with Francisco Alvarez (hand) set to begin the campaign on the IL, but Senger's defensive skills behind the plate could make him the choice over Jakson Reetz and Chris Williams. The 27-year-old Senger doesn't offer much upside with his bat however, managing a .724 OPS with three homers over 48 games for Triple-A Syracuse in 2024, and the Mets could look outside the organization for Torrens' backup once other teams begin to trim their rosters at the end of camp.
