The Mets are reconsidering Kodai Senga's playoff role after a poor Triple-A start, despite his earlier promise.

The New York Mets are assessing Kodai Senga’s postseason role after he allowed four runs in 3 2/3 innings during a Triple-A start, raising concerns despite earlier promise. The 32-year-old right-hander, who voluntarily went to Triple-A to reset his mechanics after a hamstring injury and a sharp decline in performance, showed mixed results, including a strong debut but a poor follow-up outing. Manager Carlos Mendoza declined to confirm Senga’s playoff roster spot, stating the team will choose the 13 players they believe offer the best chance to win. Senga is not eligible to return to the majors until Saturday, but the Mets plan a simulated game instead of another minor league start. While he could still contribute in the bullpen if the Mets advance, his rotation spot remains uncertain as younger pitchers have stepped in during the team’s playoff push.
