Kodai Senga To Make First Rehab Start On Wednesday
5 months agoNew York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga (shoulder, triceps) will start his minor-league rehab assignment by starting for High-A Brooklyn on Wednesday and he's expected to throw 40 pitches. Senga was diagnosed with a right-shoulder strain during spring training in February and then had his rehab paused due to a triceps injury. The 31-year-old Japanese hurler has yet to make his 2024 debut in the big leagues due to the injuries, but after a solid rookie season for the Mets in 2023, he should have been stashed in an injured-list spot in all fantasy leagues to this point. Because of the long layoff, Senga will have a rather lengthy rehab assignment and isn't going to be ready to rejoin New York's starting rotation until after the All-Star break. Senga was an All-Star last year and went 12-7 with a 2.98 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with a nice 29.1% strikeout rate in 29 starts (166 1/3 innings).
