MLB.com • • sports
Key Points:
- Mets right-hander Kodai Senga has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to lumbar spine inflammation, causing him to miss at least 7-10 days of throwing as the team reassesses his condition.
- Senga has struggled recently with a 17.28 ERA over his last three starts and has dealt with multiple injuries since joining the Mets, including shoulder, calf, and hamstring issues.
- Despite his struggles, Senga has a career record of 20-17 with a 3.39 ERA over four seasons and remains under contract for one more year with $15 million remaining.
- The Mets have recalled rookie Christian Scott to fill Senga’s spot in the rotation, despite Scott’s recent struggles returning from Tommy John surgery.
- The Mets’ rotation depth is currently limited, with key pitchers either injured or performing inconsistently, leaving the team to rely on a mix of veterans and young arms moving forward.
