Overview

  • Kodai Senga exited the June 12 game at Citi Field after injuring his right hamstring covering first base and was placed on the 15-day injured list following the MRI diagnosis.
  • The scan revealed a Grade 1 strain that will keep Senga out of the rotation for at least two weeks, with a follow-up evaluation scheduled after that period.
  • Before the injury, Senga had posted a major league-leading 1.47 ERA across 13 starts, including 5⅔ scoreless innings in his final outing to improve to 7–3.
  • New York is recalling right-hander Max Kranick and considering Paul Blackburn for the vacant rotation spot while awaiting the rehab returns of Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea.
  • The Mets completed a 4–3 sweep of the Nationals to improve to 45–24 and remain confident their pitching depth can sustain the team’s strong start to the season.
