Kodai Senga

Kodai Senga allowed four earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out four over three innings in Tuesday’s loss to the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

Senga continues an underwhelming stretch on the mound of late, allowing three earned runs or more in six of his last eight trips to the mound. The right-hander remains another dismal option in the Mets rotation, posting an 8.92 ERA and 1.80 WHIP with an 0-7 record and 1.7 K/BB ratio through 10 appearances.

Kodai Senga took the loss Sunday against the Phillies after allowing two runs over five innings in his first relief appearance. He entered with the Mets trailing 3-0 and later surrendered a two-run homer to Kyle Schwarber in the seventh after New York had moved ahead 4-3. Senga escaped a sixth-inning jam without allowing a run and retired eight of the final nine batters he faced.

Fantasy Impact

Senga fell to 0-7 but delivered a much steadier outing after moving to the bullpen. His performance could put him in consideration for a start next weekend in Atlanta, though his role has not yet been determined.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Kodai Senga will be moved to the bullpen.

Fantasy Impact

Senga's struggles on the season continued in Tuesday’s loss against the Cubs. The Mets are expected to get Christian Scott back from the injured list this weekend.

Kodai Senga (0-6) took the loss Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing seven runs on three hits and five walks while striking out six over 3.2 innings. He opened with two strikeouts in the first inning, but the second unraveled after two walks, a hit batter, and a three-run homer by Pete Crow-Armstrong. Senga later allowed a two-run homer to Dansby Swanson in the fourth.

Fantasy Impact

Senga has allowed 27 earned runs over his last five starts while failing to complete more than four innings in any of them. He owns a 10.08 ERA, 1.92 WHIP, and 34:22 K:BB through 27.2 innings, and manager Carlos Mendoza suggested he could be removed from the rotation in the near future.

Kodai Senga will start on Tuesday against the Mets.

Fantasy Impact

Senga will remain the starter of the first game of the series after Monday's game was postponed. Nolan McLean and Sean Manaea will pitch the two games of Wednesday’s doubleheader.
