Mets pitcher Kodai Senga is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season with a strained left calf

JULY 27, 2024 • Associated Press

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.

Exits start with injury Senga was removed from his start Friday against Atlanta due to an apparent calf injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Senga went to the ground grabbing at his left calf while chasing down a pop-up in the sixth inning. He was able to walk off the field under his own power, but the Mets will certainly want to take a closer look at the right-hander to determine the severity of his injury. Senga was activated off the injured list earlier Friday after missing the first several months of the year due to issues with his right shoulder and triceps, and he allowed two earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out nine batters through 5.1 frames in his season debut.

Activated ahead of season debut The Mets activated Senga (shoulder/triceps) from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Impact Senga is set to make his season debut for the Mets on Friday against Atlanta after being sidelined with right shoulder and triceps problems. The plan is for the right-hander to be available to throw around 85 pitches and/or five innings Friday after he threw 79 pitches in his final rehab start.

Impact "Everything [for Senga] is trending in the right direction," manager Carlos Mendoza said after Sunday's loss to the Marlins. The right-hander built up to 79 pitches in his last rehab start Saturday for Triple-A Syracuse, so that 85-pitch workload may even be a conservative estimate. Senga has missed the entire season so far due to arm issues that first cropped up in late February, and he'll throw one more bullpen session Tuesday to get checked out before the Mets lock him in for Friday's start.

Impact The results aren't ideal for the 31-year-old in what was expected to be his final minor-league rehab outing, but the important thing is he continued to build up his workload while staying healthy. Senga gave up just one run in his other three rehab outings, so there shouldn't be much concern regarding that performance. Assuming everything checks out when the right-hander rejoins the big-league club to be evaluated, Senga could make his season debut during the upcoming four-game series versus Atlanta, which begins Thursday in Queens.

Needs one more rehab start Senga (shoulder/triceps) is expected to make another rehab start with Triple-A Syracuse this weekend, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact After building up to 4.2 innings and 67 pitches in his most recent rehab outing with Syracuse this past Sunday, Senga looked like he might have had a chance at making his next start with the big club, but the Mets will instead send him out for one more tune-up appearance in the minors. Assuming Senga is able to build on his pitch count and experiences no setbacks during his upcoming minor-league outing, he could return from the 60-day injured list to make his 2024 Mets debut during the club's home series with Atlanta that begins July 25. Senga was placed on the IL coming out of spring training with a strained right shoulder, then battled triceps inflammation during the rehab process that ended up setting him back further.

Looks sharp in latest rehab outing Senga (shoulder) struck out three while allowing one earned run on two hits and two walks over 4.2 innings in his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Syracuse.

Impact Senga tossed 67 pitches (41 strikes) in his third rehab outing, and he's now compiled an 0.90 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB in 10 innings between Syracuse and High-A Brooklyn. According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza has said that club officials will determine the next steps for Senga over the All-Star break. Based on how he's fared during his rehab assignment, Senga looks ready to return from the 60-day injured list, but the Mets may still want him to build up to the 75-to-80 pitch range in another rehab start before he rejoins the big-league rotation.

Moving rehab to Triple-A Senga (shoulder) is expected to make his next rehab start with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact The 31-year-old threw 35 pitches over 2.2 frames in his previous outing with High-A Brooklyn on Wednesday, and he's expected to build up to about 50 pitches in his next start. The Mets want Senga to be built up to around 75-to-80 pitches before he returns from the injured list, and he's trending toward making his season debut in late July.

Impressive first rehab start Senga (shoulder/triceps) struck out six over 2.2 scoreless innings in his first rehab start with High-A Brooklyn on Wednesday.

Impact The only runner to reach base against Senga did so on an error, and he induced two groundouts in addition to his six punchouts. It was an encouraging performance from Senga, who threw 35 pitches over his 2.2 frames. He will need at least a couple more rehab starts before rejoining the Mets' rotation for his season debut.
