Good morning, Mets fans!
On Monday night, Mike Puma of the NY Post reported that RHP Kodai Senga will pitch Wednesday for Syracuse, and will throw about 85 pitches. The 33-year-old could potentially return to the Mets after that start, Puma noted.
Senga’s imminent return is good news for the Mets, as they are currently only giving three pitchers traditional starts without an opener. However, Senga will need to prove he is still able to pitch at a high level. Despite his velocity being up to begin the season, things quickly unraveled for Senga, who went on the injured list after posting a 9.00 ERA and a 1.95 WHIP in his five starts between March and April.
Should his final rehab start go well, Senga will be given one more opportunity to pitch effectively at the big-league level for the Mets.
