Kodai Senga - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Lands on injured list The Mets placed Senga on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to April 27, due to lumbar spine inflammation.

Impact The right-hander has begun the season 0-4 with a 9.00 ERA through his first five starts, and he lasted just 2.2 frames during his last outing Sunday versus Colorado. It's unclear how long Senga has been dealing with the injury, but he'll be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks. Once healthy, the Mets are likely to send Senga on what could be a lengthy rehab assignment to try and get him back on track. Christian Scott is poised to claim the open rotation spot after recalled from Triple-A Syracuse.

NY Mets' Kodai Senga has an uncertain future after another failed outing Kodai Senga once again did not have one of his best performances, and his future with the New York Mets could take a different direction.

Remains winless Senga (0-4) took the loss in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Rockies. He allowed three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out one over 2.2 inning...

Impact Senga was pulled in the third inning. He allowed a two-run home run to Hunter Goodman in that frame and put more traffic on the bases before Carl Edwards was brought in for mop-up duty. Senga landed 30 of 50 pitches for strikes in this outing, but he continues to struggle -- this was his third straight start that lasted less than four inning, and he's given up five homers in that span. For the season, he has a 9.00 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 23:13 K:BB across 20 innings over five starts. Senga is tentatively projected to make his next start against the Angels, but it's unclear how much longer the Mets will tolerate his struggles on the mound, as it already looks like he's operating on a short leash.

Starting nightcap Sunday Senga will start the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus Colorado, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Impact Senga was originally scheduled to start Saturday, but the game was postponed due to rain. Fantasy managers in weekly leagues who have Senga in their lineup won't lose a start, however, as the right-hander is slated to pitch in the second game of a doubleheader Sunday. Nolan McLean will make his regularly scheduled start in the matinee.

Saturday's start postponed Senga and the Mets won't face the Rockies on Saturday, as the game was postponed due to rain.

Impact New York and Colorado will play a doubleheader Sunday to make up for Saturday's contest, and Senga will likely take the mound to start one of the two games. The 33-year-old will be looking to turn things around after giving up 13 earned runs in just 5.2 innings between his last two starts.

Another rough performance Senga (0-3) took the loss Friday, coughing up seven runs (six earned) on six hits and three walks over 3.1 innings as the Mets fell 12-4 to the Cubs. He struck out three.

Impact The wind was blowing out to left field at Wrigley Field, contributing to a three-run homer by Moises Ballesteros in the first inning and a two-run shot by Nico Hoerner in the second, but Senga also struggled to find the strike zone and tossed just 38 of 65 pitches before getting the hook. The right-hander appeared to be headed for a bounce-back campaign after a strong spring and a 16:5 K:BB through 11.2 innings in his first two starts of 2026, but in two outings since then Senga's been hammered for 14 runs (13 earned) in 5.2 frames while serving up four homers and managing a 6:5 K:BB. He's far from the only Met struggling right now -- Friday's loss was New York's ninth straight -- but Senga may need to turn things around quickly to keep his spot in the rotation. He'll try to regain his form in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next week against the Twins.

Soderstrom homers twice as Athletics hand Senga his worst loss in 11-6 win over struggling Mets

Career-worst outing in loss Senga (0-2) took the loss Saturday against the Athletics, allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks in 2.1 innings. He struck out three.

Impact It was perhaps the worst start of Senga's major-league career, as it was his shortest career start, and the seven runs allowed marked a career high. The right-hander was simply ineffective all around, throwing only 40 of his 72 pitches for strikes and getting tagged for a trio of extra-base hits (two home runs). Saturday's outing inflated Senga's ERA to 7.07 and his WHIP to 1.71 WHIP over 14 innings so far, and he'll also face a tough assignment in Chicago against the Cubs next weekend.

Strikes out seven more Sunday Senga (0-1) didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Giants, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks with seven strikeouts across 5.2 innings.

Impact Senga was flawless through five innings, allowing two hits and two walks, and held a 1-0 lead going into the bottom of the sixth. The wheels then fell off a bit for the right-hander, as he surrendered two runs on three hits before being pulled in favor of Huascar Brazoban. Senga's stuff again looked good Sunday, and he now owns a 3.09 ERA and 16:5 K:BB across 11.2 innings. Senga is slated to take the mound for his third start Saturday at home against the Athletics.

Strikes out nine in first start Senga (0-1) took the loss against the Cardinals on Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out nine across six innings.

Impact Senga's stuff looked good, and his increased fastball velocity carried over from the spring. After sitting at 94.7 mph with his fastball last season, Senga's four-seamer averaged 97.4 mph against St. Louis on Monday. He also generated 17 whiffs on 92 total pitches, but walks remained an issue for the right-hander after he walked 4.37 batters per nine innings in 2025. The third inning proved to be the difference for Senga on Monday, as he gave up three straight hits to begin the frame, including a two-run double to Ivan Herrera. Senga retired 12 of the final 14 he faced. Senga's next start is scheduled for Sunday against the Giants in San Francisco.
