Good morning, Mets fans!
After a putrid start to the season, optimism is flowing for the Mets lately, with the imminent return of the team’s ace the most recent reason.
Kodai Senga intends to begin a minor league rehab assignment next week, the 31-year-old told reporters Tuesday.
“I feel really good mechanically and physically,” Senga said through an interpreter.
Senga has dealt with a capsule strain in his right shoulder, as well as nerve inflammation in his triceps.
On Sunday he faced live hitters for the first time, throwing 22 pitches, and will throw another session on Thursday.
Senga’s return provides a potentially monumental boost for a Mets squad that is playing its best baseball of the season in recent weeks, winning 11 of its last 14 games.
