Kodai Senga Set for First Minor League Rehab Start with Syracuse on Friday

New York Mets pitcher Kodai Senga is scheduled to make his first minor league rehabilitation start with Syracuse on Friday, September 12, 2025. Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed the plan, noting Senga has been working on mechanical adjustments during recent bullpen sessions and feels he's in a good spot. This start marks a crucial step after Senga's struggles since returning from the Injured List in July, where he posted an 0-3 record with a 5.90 ERA over nine starts. For the season, the 32-year-old right-hander holds a 7-6 record with a 3.02 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 22 starts and 113.1 innings pitched. SNY's Andy Martino reported that Senga is expected to make at least two starts with Syracuse.
