New York Mets ace Kodai Senga is finally set to make his spring training debut on Monday night against the Miami Marlins after battling injuries last season.
New York Mets ace Kodai Senga is finally set to make his spring training debut on Monday night against the Miami Marlins . The 32-year-old right-hander, who was hampered by shoulder and calf injuries last season, limiting him to just 5.1 innings, will throw one inning against the Marlins before heading to a back field for two more frames in a live batting practice session.
\Manager Carlos Mendoza expressed his excitement about seeing Senga healthy and throwing at his potential, emphasizing the importance of carefully monitoring his workload throughout the season. Even before injuries to Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea, the Mets had a six-man rotation planned to lessen Senga's burden. During his 11-year professional career in Japan, Senga only exceeded 150 innings in a single season twice. His rookie season with the Mets saw him throw 166.1 innings, showcasing a 2.98 ERA, 202 strikeouts, a second-place finish in NL Rookie of the Year voting, and a top-10 finish in the Cy Young vote. \After spending the entire 2024 season rehabbing, stretching him out this spring presents a unique challenge. The team is taking a cautious approach to reintroduce Senga to a competitive setting, gradually increasing his workload. He will only pitch one inning against the Marlins, allowing the team to assess his performance and adjust his workload accordingly. The Mets are prioritizing Senga's long-term health and performance, knowing that he is a crucial piece of their pitching staff
