Mets' Kodai Senga Returns to Mound, Eyes May Comeback

Kodai Senga, the Mets' ace pitcher, threw live batting practice for the first time since his shoulder injury, signaling a potential return by late May.

Kodai Senga faced live hitters on Monday, marking his first pitching session since injuring his shoulder in spring training.
Senga threw 20-21 pitches during the session and reported feeling good, with his fastball reaching mid-90s.
The Mets are considering a minor league rehab assignment for Senga, aiming for a return around May 27.
Christian Scott, another promising pitcher, is being considered to boost the Mets' rotation in Senga's absence.
Mets officials are optimistic about Senga's recovery and his impact on the team's pitching strength upon return.
