Mets' Kodai Senga Focused on Health and Full Season Return

After an injury-plagued 2024, Senga enters spring training optimistic about his readiness to contribute to the Mets' rotation in 2025.

Kodai Senga emphasized his health during spring training, stating he feels fully recovered from the shoulder and calf injuries that sidelined him for most of 2024.
The Mets plan to utilize a six-man rotation to provide Senga with additional rest, aligning with the schedule he was accustomed to in Japan.
Senga's offseason included a combination of rehabilitation and normal conditioning, with Mets staff collaborating to ensure consistent communication about his progress.
In 2023, Senga demonstrated his potential as a top pitcher, finishing with a 2.98 ERA and 202 strikeouts, but injuries in 2024 limited him to just one regular-season start.
Senga aims to help the Mets make another deep postseason run, building on his brief but challenging playoff appearances last year.
