Heading into camp, Kodai Senga seemed like the one of the two definite pieces of the Mets’ rotation. Coming off an outstanding rookie season, he is unquestionably the team’s ace and would slot in as the team’s number one starter.

He was shut down, and while he is expected to resume throwing shortly, there is still no specific timetable for his return. This was a massive blow to the rotation since his talent cannot be easily replaced and because the rest of the team’s revamped rotation is surrounded by question marks.
