Kodai Senga, who has struggled with a 5.90 ERA since returning from the injured list, will head to the Mets’ Triple-A Syracuse affiliate. The move coincides with the triumphant return of catcher Francisco Alvarez to the Major League roster, underscoring the team’s focus on immediate improvements.

Francisco Alvarez’s two-run homer led the New York Mets to a 2-0 victory over the Washington Nationals, setting a franchise record with 17 wins in April. Francisco Lindor added three hits in the shutout win.
