Mets' Kodai Senga to Make Second Triple-A Rehab Start; Organization Eyes Stuff Improvement

New York Mets starter Kodai Senga is scheduled to make his second rehab start for Triple-A Syracuse later this week, as confirmed by manager Carlos Mendoza on September 16, 2025. The organization has yet to determine the subsequent steps for the right-hander. In his initial Syracuse outing last Thursday, Senga impressed, yielding just one run on three hits over 6.0 innings, striking out eight without issuing a walk. He threw 74 pitches, with his forkball proving especially effective, generating 11 whiffs on 11 swings. President of baseball operations David Stearns emphasized that Senga's return to the majors hinges on both results and his "stuff" consistently getting major league hitters out.
