Mets' Kodai Senga Out for Regular Season After Calf Injury

The ace pitcher suffered a high-grade calf strain in his first game back, dealing a significant blow to the team's playoff hopes.

Senga was injured while trying to avoid a popup in his season debut against the Braves.
The pitcher had just returned from a shoulder injury that sidelined him for four months.
He struck out nine batters in 5.1 innings before the injury occurred.
Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed Senga is unlikely to return before the playoffs.
The Mets will rely on Tylor Megill and other pitchers to fill the rotation gap.
