Kodai Senga Throws 2 2/3 More Scoreless Innings In Rehab Start
5 months agoNew York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga (shoulder, triceps) threw 2 2/3 more scoreless innings on Tuesday in his second minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Syracuse and he's now thrown 5 1/3 scoreless innings so far on his rehab assignment. However, Tuesday's outing wasn't as dominant as his first rehab start, as he walked two batters and needed 52 pitches to record eight outs. The good news is that Senga topped out at 98 mph and averaged 96 mph on his fastball while generating five swings and misses on six swings on his ghost forkball. Mets officials are still debating how many more rehab starts Senga will need, but two seems like a reasonable guess. Barring another setback, the 31-year-old Japanese hurler could rejoin the Mets' rotation later this month after missing the entire first half of the season. Senga has ace potential when healthy and needs to be rostered in all fantasy leagues.
