Mets rotation uncertain as Peralta is scratched, Senga starts against Marlins

The Mets' decision to scratch Freddy Peralta from his scheduled start on Friday against the Marlins signals uncertainty within their rotation. Peralta is reportedly the subject of trade discussions and was left out as negotiations ramp up ahead of the deadline. Kodai Senga took the mound instead, marking his return after nearly three weeks. Although Senga began strong, he encountered issues in the fifth inning before being pulled. Clay Holmes continues to recover from injury while being mentioned in trade speculation and is targeting a potential outing on Sunday. The Mets are facing pivotal decisions regarding their roster with the trade deadline approaching.
