NEW YORK (AP) — Mets right-hander Kodai Senga faced hitters Monday for the first time since hurting his shoulder, throwing 21 pitches of live batting practice against minor leaguers at Citi Field.
Senga told reporters he’ll face batters two more times before beginning a minor league rehab assignment. He said he thinks he’ll be able to return from the injured list right around when he’s eligible on May 27, or soon afterward.
New York’s top starter, Senga has been sidelined since early in spring training. He is on the 60-day IL with a right shoulder capsule strain.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was encouraged by Senga’s mound session.
“The way the ball was coming out, there was no hesitation. He was just letting it loose, using all his pitches,” Mendoza said. “Since he went down, the thing that I’ve been saying is, how’s he going to bounce back? The biggest thing is tomorrow and the following day. But so far, he looked pretty sharp today.”
