KODAI SENGA NEWS

Throws 15 pitches in rehab outing Senga (calf) threw one scoreless inning while striking out two batters in his rehab outing with Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Senga was slated to throw 35 pitches over one or two innings Saturday, but he had a long break following his one frame of work due to Syracuse scoring eight runs in the next half-inning. Barring any setbacks, the 31-year-old right-hander could come off the injured list and join the Mets' bullpen for the final games of the regular season.

Kodai Senga will pitch for Syracuse Mets on Saturday The New York Mets ace will be limited to 30-35 pitches.

Rehab outing set Senga (calf) will throw 30-to-35 pitches over an inning or two with Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact The right-hander was hoping to make a rehab appearance with Syracuse this weekend before the end of the Triple-A season, and he's now on the schedule for Saturday. Assuming that appearance goes well, Senga could join the Mets in a relief capacity early next week for the final games of the regular season.

Hopes for rehab outing this weekend Senga (calf) hopes to make a one-inning rehab appearance with Triple-A Syracuse before their season ends Sunday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Impact If he's able to make the appearance and come out of it without any physical concerns, Senga could rejoin the Mets as a reliever as soon as Sept. 26, when he's first eligible for activation from the 60-day injured list. The right-hander has been shelved since late July with a high-grade left calf strain.

Throws off mound, does PFP drills Senga (calf) threw a bullpen session and did some pitchers' fielding practice drills Tuesday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Impact Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said afterward that it remains possible Senga will return sometime during the final week of the regular season. If that happens, it will almost certainly have to be in a relief role, as Senga does not have time to get stretched back out to start.

Throws off mound Senga (calf) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Wednesday with increased intensity, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Senga implied recently that he's past his left calf strain at this point and is now focused on getting his arm back in shape. It could be too late in the season to build him back up as a starter, but Senga has expressed a willingness to pitch in relief, if that's where the Mets would like to use him. It's not clear when he might be ready for a rehab assignment.

Senga hopes to return to Mets this season and is open to relief role

Kodai Senga hopes to pitch again for the New York Mets this season — perhaps even as a reliever — if they are still in the playoff race when he’s eligible to return from the 60-day...

SEPTEMBER 3 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Open to returning as reliever Senga (calf) said Monday that he's open to the idea of returning as a reliever later this season, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Coming back as a reliever might be Senga's only shot to pitch for the Mets again this season. He played catch on the field again Monday but still has numerous hoops to jump through in his recovery from a left calf strain. Senga is eligible for activation from the 60-day injured list Sept. 26.

SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Playing catch Manager Carlos Mendoza said Friday that Senga (calf) is playing catch out to 90 feet, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Senga won't return in the regular season, but he continues to rehab in hopes of returning in time for postseason play, should the Mets qualify. The 31-year-old still has plenty of hurdles to jump over before being activated, but it's encouraging that he's been able to play catch. Senga has made only one big-league start this season.

Could resume throwing soon Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said Friday that he's hopeful Senga (calf) will be able to throw while standing within the next 7-to-10 days, Laura Albanese of...

Impact Senga has already been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season with a high-grade left calf strain, but it's possible he could be available should the Mets make a playoff run. The pitcher being able to resume throwing soon will give the team a better idea as to whether it's doable.

AUGUST 16 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to 60-day IL The Mets transferred Senga (calf) to the 60-day injured list Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact The 31-year-old was ruled out for the regular season after being diagnosed with a high-grade calf strain Saturday, so the move to the 60-day IL isn't a surprise. A postseason return for Senga has yet to be ruled out, but he'll likely need to avoid any setbacks during his rehab program for that to remain a possibility.

Ruled out for rest of season Manager Carlos Mendoza said Saturday that he expects Senga (calf) to miss the rest of the regular season, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Impact Senga was diagnosed with a high-grade calf strain Saturday, and an 8-to-10-week return timeline virtually guarantees the start he made Friday will be his only appearance of the regular season. New York's skipper left open the possibility of a postseason return for the 31-year-old righty, but that will likely depend on how Senga's able to progress through his rehab program. Now without their ace, the Mets will likely be active in the market for starting pitchers ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline.

Back on injured list The Mets placed Senga on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left calf strain.

Impact Senga missed the first four months of the year due to injuries to his right shoulder and triceps, and his season debut was cut short Friday after he strained his calf in the sixth inning. He's slated to receive an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of his injury, but the Mets have already deemed the situation significant enough to warrant another trip to the IL. Tylor Megill, who is filling in for Christian Scott (elbow), will claim the open roster spot, though the Mets have yet to name a replacement for Senga's place in the rotation.

Getting MRI on Saturday Senga will receive an MRI on his left calf Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Senga strained his left calf during the sixth inning of Friday's win over Atlanta, forcing him to make an early exit from his season debut. Manager Carlos Mendoza said after the game that the team believes the 31-year-old righty only suffered a strain rather than a more serious injury, though the results of Saturday's MRI will confirm exactly what he's dealing with.

Getting MRI on Saturday Senga is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his left calf Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact After missing the first four months of the season while recovering from a shoulder capsule strain as well as tricep inflammation, Senga was cleared make his 2024 debut Friday. He picked up the win against Atlanta while striking out nine and allowing two runs on two hits and one walk, but he exited midway through the sixth inning after tweaking his calf while running to cover first base on a pop-up. Manager Carlos Mendoza said after the game that the team believes the 31-year-old righty suffered only a strain rather than a more serious injury to his calf, though the results of Saturday's MRI are still pending. Senga could be headed back to the IL, even if the MRI reveals nothing overly concerning.
