New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga will land on the injured list after exiting Thursday’s game against the Washington Nationals with a strained right hamstring. Mets general manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed Senga will undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the severity of the injury, according to MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo.
In the top of the sixth inning, Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams hit a ground ball to first base, which Mets first baseman Pete Alonso fielded wide of first base. What should have been a routine out ended up awkward as Alonso’s toss to Senga, who was covering the bag, was high, forcing Senga to make a leaping grab and plant his back foot on the base.
Senga went down clutching his hamstring, but he walked off on his own when he was pulled from the game by the training staff.
