Overview

  • In his first rehab start on July 5 for Double-A Binghamton, Kodai Senga threw 68 pitches over 3 2/3 innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits with four strikeouts and two walks.
  • Manager Carlos Mendoza said Senga feels “physically fine” and will closely monitor his condition in the days leading up to the Royals series.
  • The Mets must choose between slotting Senga directly into the rotation next weekend in Kansas City or scheduling a second rehab outing, each option affecting roster and bullpen planning.
  • Left-hander Sean Manaea is slated for one more rehab start Tuesday after recovering from a strained oblique and elbow inflammation, positioning him for a potential return alongside Senga.
  • New York’s rotation fell to a 3-14 record following Senga’s June 13 IL placement, underscoring the impact of his pre-injury 7-3 record and 1.47 ERA in 13 starts.
