The New York Mets will be without All-Star right-handed pitcher Kodai Senga until the end of May at the earliest, as he was placed on the 60-day injured list.
The 2024 season hasn't been kind to the New York Mets.They opened their season with five straight losses, almost got no-hit in their sixth game and find themselves at 4-7 two weeks into the year. Their place in this week's Power Rankings reflect that.The Mets have as many wins as they've had games postponed this season, including another rainout Wednesday in Atlanta. It's not exactly the start they were looking for.
Once Senga does throw off a mound, he'll have to make progress by throwing bullpen sessions and then facing live hitters. Then, he'll have to make at least one rehab start — in his case, probably multiple — before finally being able to join the Mets. While he could be pitching for the Mets again before June in theory, there's no guarantee he'll be ready by then.In Senga's absence, the Mets' starting rotation has been surprisingly strong.
