The Mets have reinstated Senga (spine/arm) from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Senga will return to the big-league club after a seven-week absence due to back and arm injuries. The 33-year-old built up to 75 pitches and six innings during his fourth and final rehab outing, so he'll likely still have some minor workload limitations early on. The Mets optioned Jonathan Pintaro to Triple-A Syracuse to make room for Senga on the active roster.

Sullivan (illness) will start Wednesday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

The Rockies called Sullivan up from Triple-A Albuquerque last Friday to fill the fifth spot in their rotation. Despite being tasked with making his MLB debut in an extreme hitter-friendly venue in Las Vegas, Sullivan was able to keep the Athletics off the board for three innings while striking out three batters and allowing just three baserunners. The 23-year-old lefty ended up having his start cut short after falling ill, but he's since recovered from the ailment and performed well enough during his time on the mound to earn himself another turn through the rotation. Even though he excelled in his debut and will be pitching in a more favorable environment for his second start, Sullivan will still be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes after he posted underwhelming numbers over a larger sample at Triple-A (5.76 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 50:19 K:BB in 54.2 innings).

Robberse (elbow) has been sent to the Cardinals' Florida Complex League affiliate to begin a rehab assignment.

Robberse has been cleared to pitch in games as he continues to work his way back from May 2025 Tommy John surgery. The right-hander was removed from the Cardinals' 40-man roster over the offseason before being re-signed to a minor-league contract. Robberse should eventually join the Memphis rotation once he's deemed ready.

Wrobleski (hamstring) is listed as the Dodgers' probable starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Rays in Los Angeles, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Wrobleski sustained a right hamstring contusion during his most recent start in Thursday's win over the Pirates, but manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence after the game the left-hander wouldn't need to miss a turn through the rotation. Roberts' prediction has come to pass, with Wrobleski seemingly being able to make it through his between-starts bullpen session with no complications. Though his 15.5 percent strikeout rate on the season has been one of the lowest marks among all starting pitchers, Wrobleski has delivered a 2.95 ERA and 1.05 WHIP over 73.1 innings. He's earned some of his success by walking just 5.4 percent of the batters he's faced, but Wrobleski has been the beneficiary of a .243 BABIP and a 77.9 percent strand rate, both of which will be tough for him to sustain over the course of the season.

Jones (1-1) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on eight hits and a walk over four innings against the Athletics. He struck out four.

Jones was hampered by the long ball, as he surrendered two-run homers to Nick Kurtz and Jeff McNeil in the second and fourth innings, respectively. The early returns for Jones since making his season debut May 29 have been lackluster, though a slow start from the 24-year-old is hardly surprising given that he's coming off missing all of 2025 due to right elbow surgery. The right-hander will carry a 6.23 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB across 17.1 innings (four starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Sunday on the road against the Rockies.

Lauer allowed three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four batters over six innings in a no-decision against Tampa Bay on Monday.

It initially looked like Lauer could be in for a bad evening, as he gave up two runs in the first inning and another in the second. However, the left hander was able to bounce back and keep the Rays off the scoreboard for the remainder of his outing. Lauer ended up with just his second quality start of the season, with his other such performance coming May 26 versus Colorado in his Dodgers debut. Lauer may not be a permanent part of Los Angeles' rotation, but with Blake Snell (elbow) and Tyler Glasnow (back) likely at least a month away from returning, he's pitched well enough to earn some leash as a starter. He lines up to make his next appearance in Minnesota.

Giolito (2-2) took the loss Monday against the Cardinals, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two over five innings.

Following a clean first inning from opener Wandy Peralta, Giolito took over and turned in a respectable outing. The right-hander allowed three consecutive hits in the third inning, leading to the game's first run. He then ran into more trouble in the fourth, when two walks and a two-run double accounted for the rest of the damage. Unfortunately for Giolito, he was matched up against a dominant Dustin May, who spun a one-hit shutout and left little room for error. Since making his season debut on May 17, Giolito owns a 4.56 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 16:21 K:BB across 25.2 innings. The veteran is slated to make his next start on the road against Texas.

Lorenzen did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over five innings against the Cubs. He struck out five.

After allowing a leadoff homer to Pete Crow-Armstrong, Lorenzen worked through the rest of his outing without allowing any further damage. In what has been a difficult season for the veteran right-hander, he has now turned in back-to-back respectable starts, allowing one run across five innings in each outing. Lorenzen will take a 2-8 record with a 7.13 ERA and 1.85 WHIP across 70.2 innings (16 appearances) into his next outing, tentatively slated for Sunday against the Pirates.

May (5-6) earned the win Monday against the Padres, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out nine over a complete-game shutout.

May delivered arguably the best start of his career Monday, firing his first complete game in 71 major-league starts. The right-hander flirted with perfection into the seventh inning before Fernando Tatis drew a leadoff walk, and a few batters later Manny Machado lined a single to break up the no-hit bid. Despite that, May retired the final seven batters he faced to complete the shutout. The 28-year-old has now recorded nine strikeouts in three of his last four starts and appears to be finding another gear as the season progresses. He owns a 3.75 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 75:21 K:BB across 81.2 innings and is scheduled to face Kansas City on the road in his next outing.

Imanaga did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over 5.2 innings against Colorado. He struck out three.

Imanaga kept Colorado off the board through the first five frames before departing with two outs in the sixth inning after throwing 85 pitches (62 strikes). One of the two runners he left aboard eventually came around to score as Phil Maton closed out the frame. Monday marked a second consecutive solid outing for Imanaga after a four-start stretch in which he surrendered 26 runs across 21.2 innings. Overall, the southpaw owns a 4-6 record with a 4.26 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 84:22 K:BB across 86.2 innings (15 starts). His next outing is tentatively scheduled for Sunday against Toronto.
