Kodai Senga, a pitcher for the New York Mets, has been diagnosed with tendinitis after experiencing finger discomfort. The injury has brought about concern for the Mets who are worried about the pitcher’s availability for upcoming games.
Senga, who signed with the Mets as a free agent from Japan, was scratched from his start on April 26th against the Boston Red Sox due to the discomfort he felt in his finger. While Senga was able to work through the discomfort during his bullpen sessions ahead of the game, the pain was too much for him to pitch at the major league level.
After undergoing a number of tests, the Mets medical team confirmed that Senga was indeed suffering from tendinitis. Though a serious injury, tendinitis is not uncommon in baseball players, especially pitchers, who repeatedly use their fingers, wrists, and arms to pitch the ball at high speeds.
The injury presents a major setback for Senga, who was poised to make a significant contribution to the Mets pitching rotation. The team had hoped that Senga would be able to provide stability to a rotation that has seen several setbacks due to injuries.
The Mets now face an uphill battle as they try to juggle their roster to find a replacement for Senga. The team has been struggling with injuries this season, and the loss of Senga will only make matters worse.
Despite the setback, the Mets remain optimistic about Senga’s chances of making a full recovery. They have already begun a comprehensive rehabilitation program to help the pitcher regain his strength and form, with the goal of getting him back on the mound as soon as possible.
Injuries are a common occurrence in sports, and the Mets are no strangers to them. However, with the team’s medical staff working hard to get Senga back into top form, they remain hopeful that he will make a speedy recovery and return to the mound soon. Until then, the team will have to continue to rely on their other pitchers to step up and fill the void left by Senga’s absence.
