Overview

  • Senga suffered a Grade 1 right hamstring strain on June 12 while covering first base and was placed on the 15-day injured list.
  • On June 23 at Citi Field he played catch from the mound with notable intensity, his first significant throwing activity since the injury.
  • Manager Carlos Mendoza called the bullpen throws a positive development and said a rehab assignment could be on the horizon if Senga continues to progress.
  • Senga has kept his arm active throughout recovery, taking a cautious day-by-day approach to balance intensity with necessary rest.
  • After a 2024 season limited by shoulder and calf issues, the 32-year-old ace remains focused on reaching his goal of 162 innings in 2025 to prove his durability.
