Kodai Senga To Make Rehab Appearance On Saturday
3 weeks agoNew York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga (calf) will pitch in a minor-league rehab game with Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday and will throw one to two innings or 30 to 35 pitches. Senga missed the entire first half of the season rehabbing a shoulder injury and suffered some setbacks before straining his calf in his only start of 2024 on July 26, when he picked up a win over the Atlanta Braves by allowing two earned runs in 5 1/3 innings while walking one and striking out nine. The 31-year-old Japanese hurler has been on the injured list ever since but has been working hard to rejoin the club as a reliever out of the bullpen if they capture a wild-card spot in the National League. If Senga doesn't get injured again, he could come off the IL to rejoin the Mets in a relief role for the final week of the season. Having a fully healthy Senga in any role in the postseason would be an upgrade for New York's pitching staff.
