Mets' Plan for Kodai Senga Accorded during His Triple-A Sojourn Revealed
Mets' Kodai Senga Heads to Triple-A Syracuse for Development
In a move aimed at bolstering his pitching performance, the New York Mets have announced that right-handed pitcher Kodai Senga will be demoted to the team's Triple-A affiliate, Syracuse.
The 32-year-old Japanese import, who has struggled in the past six weeks with an ERA of 5.95 over his last eight starts, has given his consent to the demotion. Senga's performance had been a stark contrast to his impressive start to the season, where he boasted a 1.39 ERA in his first 14 appearances.
Senga, who was open to the demotion from the beginning after discussing the plan with the team, expressed his disappointment but understands the reasons for it. The Mets are hoping that the change in environment will help Senga improve his performance and return to his elite form.
Carlos Mendoza, the Mets manager, described the move as providing a "more controlled environment" for Senga. Mendoza, who has high regard for Senga both as a player and a person, emphasized that the decision was not a permanent one. "Senga's demotion does not necessarily mean he won't play for the Mets again this season," Mendoza said.
In the meantime, the Mets have called up pitching prospects Brandon Sproat, Nolan McLean, and Jonah Tong to stabilize their rotation. The team is looking to bolster their spot in the postseason, and Mendoza is confident that Senga remains a key part of their plans. "The Mets are considering Senga as the top man in the rotation for the postseason, if he returns to form," Mendoza added.
Senga will throw a few bullpen sessions in Syracuse before potentially getting some minor-league game action next weekend. The Mets are optimistic that Senga will use this time to work on his mechanics and performance, with the ultimate goal of helping the team in the postseason. Senga's goal is to return to his elite form and contribute to the Mets' postseason push.
