Mets' Senga Injury, Rotation Struggles

0:00On April 29th, the New York Metz just hit another rough patch with their $75 million A's Kodai Senga landing on the 15-day. Endered list. Doctors found inflammation in his lower back after an MRI, right as the team snapped a brutal 12-game skid, but still got swept by the Rockies. Now sitting at 9 wins and 19 losses, they're tied for last and facing a thinned-out rotation. Senga's 2026 season has been a disaster so far. With a 9.00 ERA, over five starts and just 20 innings pitched. His fastball velocity dipped to 95.1 miles per hour lately, and he's racked up short outings that wear down the bullpen, like tossing. Only 2.2 innings against the athletics, on 72 pitches. Fans and queens are straight-up furious, calling for the metz to trade or designate Senga for assignment before it gets worse. He's battled shoulder, calf and hamstring issues since joining in 2023, and after early promise with 16 strikeouts in his first.

1:00Two starts, he's collapsed, giving up 20 earned runs total. To fill the gap, the metz were called Christian Scott from AAA Syracuse, where he showed better control but still allowed too much contact. Their current starters include Freddie Peralta, Clay Homes, Nolan McLean, and Scott, putting extra strain on relievers like Sean Manea and David, Peterson, who both sport ERAs above for. This metz marks the metz worst 28 game starts since 1983, and with no quick fixes inside, pressure mounts on the front, office to shake things up before the season slips away completely.
