Kodai Senga Placed on 15-Day IL with Lumbar Spine Inflammation

The New York Mets have placed right-handed pitcher Kodai Senga on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 27, due to lumbar spine inflammation. The move follows what has been described as a disastrous start to the season for the struggling right-hander. There is currently no immediate timeline for Senga's return as the team monitors his response to treatment.
