Kodai Senga Dominates First Rehab Start

Heading into the 2024 season, the New York Mets were counting on Kodai Senga to follow up his strong rookie season and be the ace of the staff. However, things took a turn at the beginning of Spring Training as Senga suffered a right posterior capsule strain in his shoulder that has kept him out of action.

On Thursday, Senga returned to a pitching mound for the first time this season and faced opposing live batters for his first rehab assignment. His outing was encouraging for the Mets as he struck out six in 2 2/3 innings pitched.
