PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- About a year ago, soon after the New York Mets reported to spring training, presumed ace Kodai Senga was shut down indefinitely with a shoulder injury.
On Tuesday, the right-hander said the shoulder trouble is behind him and he is healthy and ready to assume a full workload in 2025.
"I'm not worried at all," Senga said through an interpreter at the Mets' spring training complex Tuesday. "I just need to ramp up slowly and get through spring training healthy and get through the year healthy."
And if he can do that, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said he expects the team to deploy a six-man starting rotation to give Senga an extra day of rest between starts.
