Kodai Senga Playing Catch From 90 Feet, Progressing Well
4 months agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga (calf) is playing catch from 90 feet and is progressing well, according to Mets manager Carlos Mendoza. Though it's unlikely Senga will pitch again this season, Mendoza noted that the Japanese star is playing catch "like normal" and that it's a good sign for both him and the team. The 31-year-old only pitched in one game for the Mets this season after dealing with a shoulder strain for the entire first half of the year before injuring his calf in his only start in 2024. While the Mets are fighting for a wild-card spot (3.5 games back) it shouldn't be expected that the Mets will rush him back. Should Senga return in 2024, it'd likely be during the playoffs. Fantasy managers that need starting pitching help should instead pivot to David Peterson, whose 2.83 ERA will be a great addition to any fantasy roster.
