Senga (spine/arm) allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk while striking out five batters over six innings Thursday in a rehab start with Double-A Binghamton.

Senga made the fourth start of his minor-league rehab assignment, toeing the rubber two days later than initially expected after a flare up of ulnar nerve irritation in his right arm earlier in the week. The right-hander quelled concerns about his health by delivering his best performance of the rehab assignment, tossing 51 of his 75 total pitches for strikes. The Mets will likely wait and see how Senga's body responds to Thursday's workload before deciding whether he'll be ready to return from the 15-day injured list or if he'll remain in the minors for another start.

Perez won't start as scheduled Thursday against the White Sox since the game was postponed due to rain.

Perez should instead take the mound this weekend against the Mets. The southpaw has posted a 3.45 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with nine strikeouts over 15.2 frames in his last three outings, and he owns a 4-0 record and 3.09 ERA over 43.2 career innings against the Mets.

Wrobleski exited Thursday's contest against the Pirates in the fifth inning due to an apparent injury, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Wrobleski took a line drive off his thigh with two outs in the bottom of the fifth frame, and although he attempted to cover the bag on what ended up being a single for Bryan Reynolds, manager Dave Roberts ultimately decided to remove the pitcher. The southpaw finished his day having tossed 4.2 innings, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one batter. More information on Wrobleski's status will likely be provided in the near future.

Carrigg went 2-for-4 with a solo home run against the Cubs in a loss Thursday.

Carrigg achieved a milestone in the fourth inning, when he cranked a 418-foot blast to right field for his first major-league long ball. The talented rookie has started three straight games since being called up Tuesday and has gone 3-for-11 with a triple, a walk and Thursday's homer. Carrigg has yet to attempt a steal, but he swiped 29 bags over 57 games for Triple-A Albuquerque before joining the big club, so that skill should eventually show up as well.

Sullivan went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in a loss to the Cubs on Thursday.

Sullivan got the start behind the plate and batted out of the No. 9 slot in the order. He hit two of Colorado's three long balls (all solo shots) to post the first multi-homer game of his career. In fact, coming into Thursday, Sullivan had gone deep just three times across 206 career MLB plate appearances. Sullivan's performance against the Cubs was also his first multi-hit effort since April 29, and with one of baseball's most productive hitting catchers (Hunter Goodman) ahead of him on the depth chart, Sullivan doesn't figure to see extensive playing time moving forward.

Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in a 9-3 victory against the Rockies on Thursday.

Suzuki came up with the bases loaded in the fourth inning and bashed a homer to left field to give the Cubs all the runs they would need to secure the victory. He also struck out twice in the contest, but the homer was enough to extend his hitting streak to eight games -- though Suzuki has yet to notch multiple knocks during that span. The 31-year-old is up to 10 home runs on the season as he pursues his second straight 30-homer campaign.

Feltner (2-2) took the loss against the Cubs on Thursday, allowing six runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 4.1 innings.

Feltner was perfect through three frames, but the bottom fell out thereafter. Chicago got to him for four runs on four hits and a walk in the fourth inning, with the big hit being a grand slam off the bat of Seiya Suzuki. Feltner returned for the fifth and issued two walks while retiring just one batter, and both runners put on base came around to score after his departure. It was a disappointing outcome after Feltner looked like he might be turning a major corner over his previous two outings, during which he gave up just one run over 12 frames. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for a rematch against the Cubs in Chicago.

Cabrera (4-3) notched the win over Colorado on Thursday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 5.1 innings.

After being pounded by the Giants for eight runs over 3.2 frames in his first start back from the injured list in his previous outing, Cabrera looked better against the Rockies. The right-hander did give up two more homers, but they were both solo shots, and Colorado couldn't put any other runs on the board. Cabrera tossed 51 of 83 pitches for strikes and secured his first victory since April 28. The five long balls he's allowed across his past two appearances are certainly a concern, but Cabrera is lined up for a more promising matchup in his next start, which is scheduled to be a rematch against the Rockies -- this time in Chicago.

Lopez went 2-for-4 with a run and two stolen bases against Arizona in a 2-0 win Thursday.

Lopez was the only batter on either team to record multiple hits in the low-scoring affair. He manufactured a run in the first inning by knocking a single, reaching second base on a disengagement violation, stealing third and then coming home on a sacrifice fly. The speedy infielder added another theft later in the game for his third multi-steal performance of the campaign. Lopez is in the midst of the best season of his career, as he leads qualified MLB hitters with a .344 batting average while adding five homers, 18 doubles (tied for fifth most), three triples, 30 RBI, 42 runs and 13 steals through 68 games.

Kelly (5-5) took the loss against Miami on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one batter over six innings.

Kelly didn't allow any extra-base hits and was efficient in getting through six frames on 74 pitches. However, the two runs he allowed were enough to saddle him with the loss, as Arizona managed just three hits and no runs against five Marlins hurlers. Kelly did notch his fifth quality start of the campaign and rebounded well after yielding seven runs over five innings against Washington in his previous outing. He'll carry a 5.46 ERA and 1.45 WHIP into his next start, which is scheduled to be at home against the Angels.
