Fantasy Impact: Back on April 29, Senga threw live batting practice and seemed to be on track to return from the 60-day IL when first eligible on May 27. That now feels like a stretch given the latest update Mets manager Carlos Mendoza, who said Sunday night that Senga will not face hitters again for at least the next week as the righty instead throws bullpen sessions to work on his mechanics. Senga is likely going to be out well into June at this point.
