NEW YORK — The Mets haven’t gotten much production out of third base since Mark Vientos went down with a right hamstring strain on June 2 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fortunately, the injury was considered low-grade, and Vientos has been able to ramp up quicker than expected.

While an MRI showed "relatively good news" on right-hander Kodai Senga's hamstring strain, the major league leader in ERA is still set to miss at least a month, manager Carlos Mendoza indicated.

Kodai Senga’s hamstring strain is Grade 1, the least severe, meaning the right-hander will be shut down for about the next two weeks before being re-evaluated and ramped up to return. This places Senga’s timeline to be back in the Mets’ rotation in the second half of July.
