Kodai Senga Fantasy Stats

New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga is "attracting trade interest from multiple teams" this offseason, league sources told The Athletic's Will Sammon. Some MLB teams are viewing the 32-year-old as an interesting buy-low candidate after he got hurt in 2025 and ended the year pitching in the minors due to poor performance. The Mets have had conversations about Senga, but it's unclear if they'd be willing to trade him after the Japanese native went 7-6 with a 3.02 ERA (4.12 FIP), 1.31 WHIP, and 109:55 K:BB in 113 1/3 innings over his 22 big-league starts. He is owed $28 million over the next two years with a team option for 2028, which is a reasonable price. Senga has a 3.00 ERA in his three MLB seasons and finished in the top 10 for the Cy Young as a rookie. However, he had a 6.56 ERA in the second half in 2025, is particular about his mechanics, and missed time due to injury each of the last two years. As such, he'll be a risk/reward fantasy target going into his fourth year in the majors.

The New York Mets announced on Friday that they optioned right-hander Kodai Senga to Triple-A Syracuse and recalled right-hander Wander Suero to the major-league roster in a corresponding move. The Mets had been debating this move for a while now for the struggling Senga, who had to approve the move. The 32-year-old Japanese hurler has really struggled since the All-Star break, posting a rough 6.56 ERA and 0-3 record with 35 strikeouts and 22 walks in 35 2/3 innings over eight starts, so the Mets will send him to the farm for now in hopes that he can figure it out and return to the club for the stretch run and potentially the postseason. New York has the luxury of doing so after rookie right-handed pitching prospects Nolan McLean and Jonah Tong have looked good since their call-ups. There's no guarantee Senga will return to the Mets' starting rotation in 2025.

The New York Mets are considering a few possibilities with struggling right-hander Kodai Senga, including potentially asking him to accept an optional minor-league assignment, according to people familiar with the team's thinking. However, Senga may not be sent to the minors without his consent, according to his contract. The 32-year-old said on Tuesday that he's willing to do whatever it takes for him to get better and help the team. Another option would be for the Mets to send Senga to the bullpen to try and get him right for the playoffs. He was the runner-up for the National League Rookie of the Year and was an All-Star in 2023. Senga had a 1.39 ERA through his first 14 outings this year, but he's posted a 6.56 ERA in 35 2/3 innings since, and the Mets have plenty of rotation options right now, especially with rookies Nolan McLean and Jonah Tong looking good.

The Athletic's Tim Britton writes that New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga is in danger of losing his spot in the regular-season starting rotation after another dud of a performance in Sunday's series finale against the Miami Marlins in which he allowed five runs in 4 2/3 innings. "We're going to have some discussion about what's next for him," manager Carlos Mendoza said. Mendoza and president of baseball operations David Stearns have said the situation is "fluid" with the rotation on a turn-by-turn basis. The 32-year-old veteran had a rough 6.18 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 27 strikeouts and 14 walks in six starts (27 2/3 innings) in the month of August and just hasn't been the same since returning from a hamstring injury right before the All-Star break. Fantasy managers may not be able to count on Senga in the fantasy postseason.

The New York Mets announced on Friday that they reinstated right-hander Kodai Senga (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list and optioned right-hander Justin Hagenman to Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. Senga will return from a near month-long absence due to a strained right hamstring to face the Kansas City Royals in the series opener on Friday. The 32-year-old Japanese hurler is typically a must-start in fantasy, but he'll have a considerably lower ceiling in his first start back after only throwing 68 pitches in his lone minor-league rehab start. As a result, the Mets will most likely be cautious with his pitch count on Friday, and Senga is unlikely to go very deep against KC despite the solid matchup. Before his injury, Senga was having a fine 2025 season, recording a sharp 1.47 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 70 strikeouts and 30 walks in 73 2/3 innings.

New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga (hamstring) is scheduled to throw a bullpen on Wednesday. If all goes well, Senga will start Friday against the Kansas City Royals, according to Mike Puma of the New York Post. Senga was placed on the 15-day injured list in mid-June with a Grade 1 strain of his right hamstring. The right-hander made a rehab start with Double-A Binghamton on July 5, throwing 3 2/3 innings and allowing three earned runs while walking two and striking out four. Before the injury, Senga was 7-3 in 73 2/3 innings (13 starts) with a 1.47 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and 70 strikeouts. His 3.14 xERA shows that he was outperforming his underlying numbers and could be in line for some ERA regression. Regardless, he's a must-start pitcher in all fantasy formats when he returns to the big-league mound.

New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga (hamstring) made his first rehab start since landing on the injured list on June 13. Pitching for Double-A Binghamton on Saturday, Senga struggled through 3 2/3 innings, allowing six hits, two walks, and striking out four on 68 pitches. The 32-year-old has been outstanding when healthy this season, posting a 1.47 ERA and a 23.9% strikeout rate. The initial plan is for Senga to rejoin the Mets during their upcoming series in Kansas City. It is unclear if Saturday's outing will delay his return. Fantasy managers should proceed with caution if starting him next week.

New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga (hamstring) will make a minor-league rehab start with Double-A Binghamton on Saturday, according to ESPN's Jorge Castillo. Manager Carlos Mendoza said that the goal is for Senga to throw 60 pitches. If all goes well, Senga should rejoin the team's starting rotation and start next weekend in Kansas City against the Royals. The 32-year-old Japanese hurler could be on a limited pitch count if he returns to face the Royals next weekend, but it would still be an enticing matchup against the team with the fewest runs scored per game in 2025. Senga was a must-start in fantasy before pulling his right hamstring, as he had gone 7-3 with a pristine 1.47 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 70 strikeouts and 31 walks in 73 2/3 frames over his 13 starts.

New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that the goal is for right-hander Kodai Senga (hamstring) to pitch in a minor-league rehab game for Double-A Binghamton this weekend. The skipper also said that Senga could be "in play" to come off the injured list before the All-Star break. The Mets' starting rotation should be getting reinforcements soon, with left-hander Sean Manaea (elbow, oblique) also potentially returning to the fold before the All-Star break. Senga has been out since the middle of June with a strained right hamstring, but if all goes well with his rehab start this weekend, the 32-year-old veteran could return to action for the Mets by July 12 against the Kansas City Royals. Senga should be rostered in all fantasy leagues and will be a must-start as soon as he returns after going 7-3 with a 1.47 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 70 strikeouts in his 73 2/3 innings over 13 starts.

New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga (hamstring) threw a live batting practice session on Sunday. This was the first time that Senga has faced live hitters since landing on the injured list in early June. The next step is for Senga to throw a bullpen session and go through some fielding practice. If everything goes well, Senga should be cleared to go on a rehab assignment. The right-hander is working his way back from a Grade 1 hamstring strain. The expectation is that Senga won't be back in the rotation until mid-July. Fantasy managers will just have to hold tight for a few more weeks.
