Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-USA TODAY SportsNew York Mets ace Kodai Senga is dealing with triceps tightness, manager Carlos Mendoza announced on Sunday and will miss the remainder of the regular season.
“He felt like he could continue to pitch, but he wanted to play it safe,” Mendoza said. “He’s going to continue to throw… but that’s what we got.” The initial hope was that Senga would be able to make a return to the mound during the final week of the regular season, which begins on Tuesday in Atlanta against the Braves. That would allow proper time to ramp him up for postseason usage — though his role as either a starter or ace reliever was unknown.“Hopefully, we’re making those decisions, right?” Mendoza began. “…He’s going to continue to throw.
Senga had missed the first four months of the season with a shoulder strain. He made his season debut on July 25 against the Braves, but it only lasted five innings before suffering that high-grade calf strain.
