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.

Mets' Hayden Senger: Late addition to Saturday's lineup
Rotowire
Senger has been added to Saturday's lineup versus the Blue Jays as a result of Luis Torrens being scratched due to a right forearm contusion, per Will Sammon of The Athletic.
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: Makes team as backup catcher
Rotowire
The Mets informed Senger on Wednesday that he will be included on the Opening Day roster, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

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.
