New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga (shoulder) has a mild strain of his posterior capsule in his right shoulder and will be shut down until symptoms subside, according to president of baseball operations David Stearns. Senga is expected to begin the 2024 regular season on the injured list. We don't have a specific timetable for when the 31-year-old hurler will be able to make his season debut, but it wouldn't be a surprise if he missed the first month of action. It's a big blow to Senga's fantasy value and the Mets' starting rotation to kick off the season. With Senga on the shelf, Adrian Houser, Tylor Megill, Jose Butto and Max Kranick will now compete for the right to take Senga's spot in the rotation to begin the season.

New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga is experiencing a bit of arm fatigue and did not work out with the team on Wednesday. Skipper Carlos Mendoza said the club should have more information on their valued starter in the coming days. The 31-year-old made his North American debut in the 2023 season and did not disappoint with a 2.98 ERA and a 29.1% K% across 29 starts, going 12-7 in the process. He projects to lead a re-vamped Mets rotation in 2024 as ATC is projecting some regression for Senga in 2023 with a 3.70 ERA in 28 starts but a 12-9 record and 27.5% K% would serve fantasy managers well. While the arm fatigue sounds minor at this point, managers will want to keep an eye out for an update in the coming days.
