Starling Marte was scratched from the Mets\u2019 starting lineup Saturday as a precaution after the outfielder\u2019s troublesome right knee flared up.<\/p>\n
The team\u2019s starting right fielder \u2014 who did not appear Saturday \u2014 also had sat out one game ahead of the Mets\u2019 London road trip earlier this month with the same issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cStill the knee, it flared up a little [Friday] again,\u201d Carlos Mendoza said before the Mets beat the Padres, 5-1, on Saturday at Citi Field. \u201cI\u2019m not too concerned, he should be available off the bench, but I just decided to give him a day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked if the injury is something to need to monitor regularly, Mendoza added, \u201cWe definitely have to monitor it. Want to make sure this doesn\u2019t turn into a long-term injury. <\/p>\n
He was feeling pretty good [Friday], I think it was more after the stolen base that he felt something there.<\/p>\n
Then after the game I checked with him, and he wanted to play, but it\u2019s one of those [things] that let\u2019s be smart here and don\u2019t try to push it. <\/p>\n
The report today is he\u2019s feeling a lot better, so that\u2019s a good sign.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kodai Senga, who has not pitched this season because of a right-shoulder strain, threw his third bullpen session since he suffered a triceps setback last month.<\/p>\n
Senga threw 30-35 pitches, Mendoza said, with two \u201cups\u201d or simulated innings.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe threw 15 or so, sat down, like a two-inning bullpen type deal. He felt good, so a good sign,\u201d Mendoza said. \u201cHe\u2019ll throw another one the middle of next week and then hopefully we can move to the next phase, which is facing hitters.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mendoza praised second-year catcher Francisco Alvarez\u2019s defense behind the plate since returning from the injured list.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis leadership. His ability to communicate to relate to everyone on the pitching staff, the coaches,\u201d Mendoza said. \u201cObviously, the framing is really good, his arm can shut down running games, but I think it\u2019s just his ability to lead a pitching staff, and having the knowledge when to make adjustments and giving guys conviction. So for a guy that age [22], it\u2019s pretty impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
