Mets Send $75 Million Pitcher Kodai Senga to Minors Amid Struggles

On September 5, 2025, the New York Mets announced that pitcher Kodai Senga has been sent to the minors, specifically Triple-A. The team hopes this stint will help the $75 million pitcher "get him right" as the playoffs loom. Senga has struggled recently, posting a concerning 6.56 ERA over his last eight MLB starts. This move reflects the Mets' effort to address his performance issues and prepare him for a potential return to the major league roster before the postseason.
