Kodai Senga Set for Second Triple-A Start After Dominant First Outing

New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed that 32-year-old right-hander Kodai Senga is scheduled to make a second start at Triple-A Syracuse. This decision aligns with the initial plan, allowing Senga to continue refining his mechanics and ensure a full recovery, as he needs to be down for 15 days anyway. His first outing with Syracuse was highly successful, where he allowed just one run on three hits over six innings, striking out eight without issuing any walks. Mendoza praised Senga's performance, noting his effective use of all pitches, aggressive strike-throwing, and impressive metrics, including 18 whiffs on 43 swings and a perfect 11 whiffs on 11 swings with his forkball. The Mets are optimistic about his progress as he works towards rejoining the big league rotation.
