TOKYO, Japan – Pitcher Kodai Senga’s recovery timeline remains uncertain as he received a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection for his injured shoulder. The injection will require Senga to refrain from throwing for the next three weeks, according to team sources. The decision to administer the PRP shot was made after the Mets ace experienced discomfort in his shoulder during recent training sessions.
The Mets are closely monitoring Senga’s progress following the injection, with his feedback expected to determine how soon he can resume throwing activities. The team is hopeful that the three-week shutdown will allow Senga’s shoulder to heal effectively and prevent any further complications.
Senga’s absence from throwing will undoubtedly impact the Mets’ rotation plans as they prepare for the upcoming season. The team will need to adjust its pitching schedule and potentially explore alternative options to fill the void left by Senga during his recovery period.
While the Mets remain optimistic about Senga’s eventual return to full strength, they understand the importance of prioritizing his health and ensuring that he is fully recovered before returning to the mound. The team’s medical staff will continue to closely monitor Senga’s progress and provide him with the necessary support throughout his rehabilitation process.
Despite the setback, Senga’s determination and work ethic are expected to play a pivotal role in his recovery journey. The Mets have full confidence in Senga’s ability to overcome this challenge and return to the field stronger than ever.
In the meantime, the Mets are focused on supporting Senga during his recovery and preparing the rest of the team for the upcoming season. The organization remains committed to providing Senga with the necessary resources and guidance to ensure a smooth and successful return to the pitching rotation.
