Mets Ace Kodai Senga Could Rejoin Rotation Next Weekend in Kansas City
- Kodai Senga is expected to return to the Mets' pitching rotation during their upcoming series against the Kansas City Royals, just ahead of the All-Star break.
- Senga strained his right hamstring on June 12 while covering first base, which led to his lengthy absence and the Mets' 3-14 losing streak afterwards.
- He recently made a rehab outing for Double-A Binghamton, throwing just under four innings while giving up four runs—three of them earned—along with four strikeouts and two walks, using a total of 68 pitches.
- Manager Carlos Mendoza said Senga 'physically feels fine' and called him 'a big part of this team,' while Senga himself said, 'My body felt great' after his outing.
- Senga's return could stabilize the Mets' rotation amid bullpen injuries and a recent four-game win streak strengthened by new reliever Zach Pop's addition.
