Kodai Senga to Make Another Rehab Start on Thursday
New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said on Monday that right-hander Kodai Senga (back) will make another minor-league rehab start on Thursday, per Max Goodman of NJ.com. Senga made his first rehab start on Friday for Single-A St. Lucie and allowed two earned runs on four hits while walking one and striking out two in 3 1/3 innings. He threw 36 of his 63 pitches for strikes. Depending on how he fares in his second rehab start this week, the Mets could choose to reinstate Senga from the 15-day injured list after that. The 33-year-old Japanese native wasn't very good at all in his five starts for the Mets this year before tweaking his back, though, so don't be surprised if the Mets aren't in any rush to bring him back to the big-league starting rotation. Senga has gone 0-4 with a 9.00 ERA (6.13 FIP) and 1.95 WHIP with 23 strikeouts and 13 walks in 20 innings. It also isn't out of the question that Senga returns as a long man out of New York's bullpen. After a strong first year in MLB in 2023, in which he was an All-Star, Senga hasn't quite been the same after making just one start in 2024 due to injury. Fantasy managers in mixed leagues can take a wait-and-see approach on Senga.
