Kodai Senga Out for Regular Season

Mets pitcher Kodai Senga will not return during the regular season due to tightness in his triceps felt during a rehab outing with Triple-A Syracuse, but a postseason return remains possible. Despite a promising one-inning performance in his rehab start, where he threw 15 pitches and struck out two batters, the Mets will evaluate his readiness for the postseason. Senga began the season on the injured list with a shoulder strain, later suffering a calf strain in his sole MLB appearance this year. Manager Carlos Mendoza mentioned that Senga could be used as an opener or reliever if he returns, as the team cautiously manages his recovery.
