Kodai Senga Exits Mets’ Win with Apparent Injury
- Kodai Senga, the Mets’ starting pitcher, left Thursday’s game at Citi Field against the Washington Nationals due to an injury to his right hamstring.
- The injury happened in the sixth inning when Senga fell after reaching to catch a high toss delivered by first baseman Pete Alonso to complete a play at first base.
- Before exiting, Senga had pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out five batters, and the Mets led 4-0.
- Manager Carlos Mendoza said Senga will undergo an MRI on Friday to assess the injury’s severity and expects the pitcher to move to the injured list.
- Senga’s absence comes despite the Mets securing a major league-best record and having rotation depth, but the injury still represents a setback for the team.
