CINCINNATI — Kodai Senga said he was ready to go, and the Mets are hoping that he can carry over his latest success in the minor leagues.

After missing nearly two months with lumbar spine inflammation and a brief pause with ulnar nerve irritation, Senga will return to the mound for the Mets’ Tuesday matchup with the Reds at 7:10 p.m. at Great American Ball Park.

The Mets could use a serious lift following Monday’s news that Christian Scott had been placed on the injured list with a right hip impingement. The club is now leaning more heavily on Sean Manaea, who has one start under his belt this season, and Senga, who has allowed 20 earned runs in 20 innings this season.

There is another void in the rotation, which was occupied by Tobias Myers on Monday. Myers allowed seven earned runs in 1⅓ innings in a 12-0 loss.

The Mets could use a positive result form one of their back-end starters to try and garner some momentum. Monday’s defeat came on the heels of a series win over the Braves. The Mets enter Tuesday with a 32-40 record on the season.
