Kodai Senga Nears Return to Mets

Kodai Senga's return to the Mets' pitching rotation is uncertain after he experienced right triceps tendinitis during a rehab outing for Triple-A Syracuse. Manager Carlos Mendoza expressed hope for Senga to pitch if the Mets make the postseason, as Senga's previous injuries limited him to just one Major League start in 2024. In his rehab appearance, Senga threw one scoreless inning, striking out two and walking one before being removed due to an extended break caused by his team's offensive outburst. Despite a challenging season, the Mets are considering using him as an opener in the crucial final series in Milwaukee. The team's hopes for a Wild Card spot remain alive, with Senga’s potential return seen as pivotal for their postseason aspirations.
