Good morning, Mets fans!
In an SNY interview, Mets new manager Carlos Mendoza gave an update on his ace who will be sidelined through 2024 opening day. When asked about Kodai Senga‘s rehab, Mendoza commented “so far, so good” as he continues his limited activity in the early stages of nursing his shoulder injury.
While mentioning that the club will learn more once he starts playing catch, he mentioned that “he is moving in the right direction.”
Missing Senga to start the season without a doubt hampers the Mets’ early season success, but getting him back while preventing further injury is even more valuable to the club.
