Latest Kodai Senga injury update will catch Mets fans' attention
The New York Mets and their fans will certainly appreciate this update after what has been a brutal start to the summer. Mets' ace Kodai Senga is slated to begin a rehab start this weekend, either Saturday or Sunday.

Senga injured his hamstring when he attempted to cover first base a few weeks back. Since then, the rotation has been in shambles. The Mets recently added two more pitchers to the IL, joining Senga, Tylor Megill, and Sean Manaea.
The team needs Senga to return as soon as possible, and it is not yet known if he needs more than one rehab start. The current pitchers in the rotation for the Mets are David Peterson, Clay Holmes, Griffin Canning, and Frankie Montas. As of now, they just have the four after Paul Blackburn was added to the IL ahead of the game tonight against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Montas had an impressive season debut against the Atlanta Braves in his first start as a Met. He allowed zero runs on just three hits in five innings. However, his second outing was the opposite. In only 4.0 innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates, he allowed seven hits, six earned runs, including two home runs. Montas has struck out five hitters in both games. The Mets will need Montas to bounce back this weekend against the New York Yankees in the Subway Series.
As of now, New York does not have a starter lined up for Friday's 4th of July game against the Yankees. Peterson goes tonight against the Brewers, and then Montas is slated for Saturday, followed by another undecided for the series finale on Sunday. The rotation is not looking bright, but when Senga returns, it has a chance to skyrocket. Both Peterson and Holmes have had very good seasons with ERAs of 3.30 and below.

Senga had a 1.47 ERA, which would be the lowest in the league if eligible.

Rangers 1B Jake Burger goes on the injured list for 2nd time this season
ARLINGTON, Texas — Texas Rangers first baseman Jake Burger will be on the injured list for the second time this season when the team resumes play after the All-Star break. Texas placed Burger on the 10-day IL on Wednesday because of a left quad strain. The move was retroactive to Sunday, a day after Burger struck out as a pinch-hitter in the 10th inning at Houston. He had exited in the sixth inning of Friday night's opener in the three-game series against the AL West-leading Astros. The Rangers (48-49) didn't immediately make a corresponding roster move. They open a three-game series at home Friday night against Detroit (59-38), which despite a four-game losing streak still has the best record in the major leagues. Burger, who is hitting .228 with 11 home runs and 35 RBIs over 75 games in his first season with Texas, played in only 10 games after returning from his previous IL stint. He missed 10 games from June 21 until July 2 because of a left oblique strain. Texas got Burger in a trade from Miami in December. After he hit .190 with three homers and a team-high 32 strikeouts in 100 at-bats his first 30 games, the Rangers sent him briefly to Triple-A Round Rock. In 45 games since returning to the majors, he hit .250 with eight homers and 23 RBIs.

Brewers Ace Entangled In Ongoing Trade Speculation Ahead Of Deadline
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Milwaukee Brewers are once again in a competitive postseason race. The Brewers aren't the dominant force in the National League Central that they've been for the last few years, but they're still a threat for the division title and the wild card race. Milwaukee could be set up to make a few huge moves this year. Despite Milwaukee contending at the All-Star break, Bleacher Report's Zachary Rymer recently suggested the Brewers could trade their ace, Freddy Peralta, ahead of the trade deadline. Rymer noted the odds of a trade happening are low, but still acknowledged the possibility. ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JULY 15: Freddy Peralta #51 of the Milwaukee Brewers walks across the field before the MLB All-Star Game at Truist Park on July 15, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Cox/Getty Images "More so than with Bregman and the Red Sox, though, there's a financial reality at play with Peralta and Milwaukee," Rymer wrote. "He's in the last guaranteed year of his contract, and his attempts to get a new deal have reportedly gone nowhere. It may be that the notoriously frugal Brewers are wary over making a deal they might regret. "If the Brewers traded Peralta in the middle of a contention run, it would surely be an unpopular move ... but not an unprecedented one. Though the Josh Hader trade of 2022 didn't go over well, it happened all the same and the club is no worse off for it three years later." It seems unlikely the Brewers would consider trading Peralta unless a contender like the Boston Red Sox would be willing to trade Jarren Duran to Milwaukee. But in a selling move, meaning Peralta for prospects, it's doesn't make much sense. Still, a deal could happen, as we saw with Josh Hader a few years ago. As of now, Peralta is a Brewer and it's likely going to stay that way through the end of the season. But don't be surprised if a contending team takes a huge chance on him and offers the Brewers a package of players they can't refuse.
