Kodai Senga Worth Adding Ahead of Return?
New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga (back, arm) will come off the 15-day injured list to start against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Instead of having Senga make one more minor-league rehab start, the Mets will have him join the big-league starting rotation to help replace right-hander Christian Scott (hip), who was placed on the IL on Monday with a hip impingement. The 33-year-old has been out since late April with lumbar spine inflammation, and he recently had a setback due to ulnar nerve irritation in his right arm. The Japanese hurler looked good in his most recent rehab appearance with Double-A Binghamton, throwing six innings while giving up just one run. He should be close to fully stretched out, but even in a decent matchup, Senga will be a highly risky fantasy streamer in his first game back in the majors after a long hiatus. In his five starts in 2026 before landing on the IL, Senga was hit around to the tune of a 9.00 ERA and 1.95 WHIP in 20 innings pitched. Senga is only rostered in 13% of Yahoo leagues. Fantasy managers in mixed leagues are probably better off taking a wait-and-see approach.
