Mets ace Kodai Senga’s return timeline remains uncertain, but he took a positive step on Tuesday by throwing for the first time since receiving a cortisone shot for nerve inflammation in his right triceps. Prior to the triceps issue, Senga had been participating in light catch sessions before missing a scheduled bullpen session.
Before the injury occurred, Senga was nearing a rehab assignment after completing multiple bullpen sessions. He had temporarily halted his comeback efforts to work on his mechanics. Manager Carlos Mendoza had previously stated that Senga would increase his intensity once he resumed throwing in preparation for returning to the mound.
During a recent update, Senga expressed regret over his injury setbacks but emphasized the importance of being patient with his rehab process. He acknowledged the need to prioritize how his body feels before gradually progressing through the stages of recovery. Senga is eager to return to the field but understands the necessity of taking it one step at a time to ensure he reaches full health before resuming play.
