Mets' Buttó goes on 15-day injured list with unspecified illness. Senga to make rehab start Saturday
NEW YORK (AP) — New York Mets reliever Jose Butto was put on the 15-day injured list Friday with an unspecified illness.
'We're not going to get into the details of it out of respect of Buttó, but we don't anticipate this being a long term,' Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. 'We expect him to be back right after the All-Star break.'
Mendoza said he didn't anticipate that Buttó will need to go on a minor league injury rehabilitation assignment. A 27-year-old right-hander, Buttó is 2-1 with a 2.47 ERA in 31 relief appearances, the last a two-inning outing at Pittsburgh last Saturday.
New York recalled right-hander Chris Devenski from Triple-A Syracuse. Brought up for the fourth time this season, the 34-year-old right-hander has made four appearances for the Mets.
Right-hander Kodai Senga, sidelined since June 12 by a strained right hamstring, is to start a rehab assignment Saturday with Double-A Binghamton. He is to throw 60-65 pitches, according to Mendoza, and soon could return to New York's injury-ravaged rotation.
'We'll see how it goes tomorrow and then see how he responds and we'll have a decision after that,' Mendoza said.
New York didn't have an update on reliever Dedniel Nunez, who was put on the IL on Thursday because of a sprained right elbow sprain and could require Tommy John surgery for the second time.
'He's going to to visit a doctor next week because of a holiday weekend,' Mendoza said.

Michigan Defense Preview 2025: Another Year, Another Dominant Wolverines D
The defense did its wasn't the killer the 2024 national championship version was, but with zero help whatsoever from the offensive side, it finished tenth in the nation, was fifth against the run, stuffed Ohio State and Alabama, and now it should do it all over might not be a ton of ready-made superstars, but there's a good mix of top-shelf veterans, talented young backups, and good transfers to create another problem for Big Ten attacks. X CFN, Fiu | CFN Facebook | Bluesky Fiu, CFN2025 Michigan PreviewMichigan Offense Breakdown Season Prediction, Win Total, Keys to Season - The pass rush was good enough. It comes up large when it has to, but like the 2024 version, it wasn't among the elite. However, that's a bit by design - the Wolverines don't go full bore all the time to attack the backfield. Even so, this bunch will get there. The outside guys are set. Derrick Moore is a true hybrid at one outside linebacker spot, making four sacks and six tackles for loss, and TJ Guy is ready to roll again on the other side with 5.5 sacks with seven tackles for loss. Once again, on the inside is Ernest Hausmann, a former Nebraska starter who led the Wolverines with 89 tackles in the middle. Jaishawn Barham was second with 66 stops and five quarterback hurries. Getting Troy Bowles (Georgia) was a strong signing to add to an already loaded depth situation. - The interior of the line can get into the backfield, too. The rotation will be strong, starting with veteran 296-pound Rayshaun Benny as a big presence on the Williams (Clemson) only made 35 tackles in five years with the Tigers, but his role will be to hold up on the nose. 315-pound Tre Pierce is another big body who'll anchor things from time to time. Damon Payne (Alabama) is a 303-pound veteran who can play anywhere inside. - Good last year, the Wolverine corners should go up a few notches. Not having Will Johnson around doesn't help, but he missed a chunk of the year hurt, Hill went through the growing pains of a freshman season, but he'll be an All-Big Ten playmaker on one side. Zeke Berry can work just about anywhere, leading the team with nine broken up passes with 37 stops, and sixth-year veteran Caleb Anderson (Louisiana) will fill in wherever needed. Rod Moore might be one of the Big Ten's best safeties, if he's all back full from a torn ACL before last season started. Even if he's not his former self right away, the talent is there to once again be a force as the year goes Metcalf (Arkansas) is an all-around baller who made 57 tackles with three picks and seven broken-up passes last year for the Hogs. Brandyn Hillman can start in any spot - he should double up his 21 tackles from last season - and back after missing almost all of last year, former Michigan State transfer Jaden Mangham should be back to the 53-tackle, four-pick 2023 level he was at in East Lansing.

Heroes, zeros from Mets' Subway Series win: Brandon Nimmo set the tone
Heroes, zeros and the inside pitch from the Mets' 12-6 win over the Yankees on Saturday afternoon in the Subway Series in Queens: Hero Pete Alonso homered twice, a two-run shot in the fifth and a three-run shot in the seventh, and the Mets needed all the offense they could get in holding off the Yankees with Frankie Montas and a battered bullpen. Pete Alonso, who hit two homers in the win, belts a three-run shot in the seventh inning of the Mets' 12-6 victory over the Yankees on July 5, 2025. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Zero Advertisement Carlos Rodón gave up seven runs (six earned), both season highs. For a team desperate for good starting pitching with Clarke Schmidt likely lost for the season, Rodón's five-inning performance was not what the Yankees were looking for. Unsung hero By the time it was over, it would have been easy to forget that Brandon Nimmo got the Mets off to another fast start, this time with a grand slam in the bottom of the first that gave Montas some early breathing room. Brandon Nimmo belts a grand slam homer in the first inning of the Mets' win over the Yankees. Robert Sabo / New York Post Key stat Advertisement 6 Consecutive Yankees losses, matching their longest streak of the season. Quote of the day 'I feel like both of these teams are right now kind of like heavyweights at the end of a 15-round match, just trying to throw some haymakers.'' — Brandon Nimmo on the approach the teams have in the Subway Series
