Mets' Kodai Senga Poised for Season Debut Against Braves

Despite a rocky rehab start, Senga is expected to return to the Mets' rotation this Friday after recovering from multiple injuries.

Senga's latest rehab start saw him allow five runs on eight hits over three innings but he remains physically healthy.
The Mets plan to activate Senga for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves, pending a successful bullpen session.
Senga's return will lead to a six-man rotation, providing extra rest for all pitchers, including Sean Manaea.
The Mets are currently in third place in the NL East and hold the final NL Wild Card spot.
Senga was a standout in 2023, finishing second in NL Rookie of the Year voting with a 2.98 ERA and 202 strikeouts.
