Kodai Senga Aims for Healthy 2026 Campaign Amid Rotation Competition

Kodai Senga enters 2026 aiming to stay healthy after a rocky 2025 season derailed by hamstring and shoulder issues. Despite trade rumors, Senga remains with the Mets and is competing for a spot in the team's six-man rotation. Manager Carlos Mendoza has praised Senga's intensity during spring training, noting his bullpen sessions show promise. Senga, who posted a 1.47 ERA early last season before his injury, hopes to regain his rookie-year form to bolster the Mets' pitching staff.
