The New York Mets, on a three-game home winning streak, host the Miami Marlins

APRIL 7, 2025 • Associated Press

Fans eight in loss Senga (0-1) allowed four runs (two earned) on three hits and a walk over five innings Tuesday, striking out eight and taking a loss against Miami.

Impact Senga coughed up a two-run shot to Kyle Stowers in the first inning and a two-run double to Graham Pauley in the fourth after Francisco Lindor started the frame with an error. Senga generated 16 whiffs on 77 pitches (49 strikes), including eight with his infamous "ghost fork." He's registered a 2.99 career ERA over 171.2 MLB frames but was limited to just one start in 2024 due to multiple injuries. Senga's next start is lined up to be a rematch at home against the Marlins.

Mets' Kodai Senga set for limited pitch count to start season When Senga makes his first start, penciled in for April 1 against the Marlins, he will be held to about 75 pitches, a Mets official said.

MARCH 22, 2025 • NEWSDAY.COM

Dominates Nats in Thursday's start Senga gave up an unearned run on zero hits and two walks over 3.2 innings during Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals. He struck out six.

Impact Facing most of Washington's Opening Day lineup, Senga saw CJ Abrams cross the plate in the first inning after a walk, a stolen base and a throwing error by Luis Torrens on a strikeout of James Wood, but the right-hander shook it off and breezed through the rest of his outing. Senga has a 2.00 ERA and 9:2 K:BB through nine Grapefruit League innings, and while the Mets will keep a careful eye on his workload -- he won't make his 2025 debut until the fifth game of the season, April 1 in Miami -- he seems fully recovered from last year's injury woes.

Won't pitch in first series Senga is expected to make his first start of the season April 1 in Miami, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Impact That would be the Mets' fifth game of the year, after the team opens the season with a three-game set in Houston. The decision to hold Senga back is a strong sign New York will continue to monitor his workload in 2025, but the 32-year-old says he's felt good this spring and hasn't had trouble bouncing back from any of his outings. "I have a growing understanding of where my body is and what I can do and can't do at this point," Senga said after Friday's start. The Mets need him to regain his 2023 form, when he produced a 2.98 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 202:77 K:BB over 166.1 innings in his North America debut.

Unveils sinker in spring debut Senga worked a sinker into his arsenal during Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact If he's comfortable enough with the pitch to use it during the regular season, it would give Senga something that can work inside to right-handed batters, while the rest of his offerings tend to move away from righties. The 32-year-old right-hander is mainly looking to stay healthy in 2025 after throwing only 5.1 innings last season due to shoulder and calf injuries, but he got his spring off to a strong start Monday, tossing 20 of 31 pitches for strikes over two scoreless innings against Miami while giving up two hits and striking out two.

Spring debut coming Monday Senga will make his first start of spring training Monday against the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander has been building up in spring games and is now ready to make his first Grapefruit League appearance Monday. Senga is scheduled to pitch one inning before moving to the back fields to round out his throwing program.

MARCH 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready for official games Senga is not ready to pitch in Grapefruit League games as he is due to make a couple more simulated outings in a controlled environment, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Given that Senga logged 10.1 innings last year, including the postseason, it's wise to be skeptical of his ability to be ready for a full starter's workload on Opening Day, at least until we see him in official Grapefruit League games. Healey reports that feedback about Senga's health and buildup continues to be positive, and Senga certainly has a rotation spot if he's able to get ready in time.
