Mets ace Kodai Senga “felt great” coming out of his latest live batting practice session, according to captain Carlos Mendozaand now there’s a chance that his next step could be a rehab assignment.
Senga held his final live BP session on Saturday, going through two simulated innings while sitting in the middle to mimic the game action.
According to Mendoza, the Mets will “see how he responds over the next few days” before deciding whether to have the right-hander do another live blood pressure session or progress to a rehab assignment.
Senga is eligible to return from the IL on May 27, and president of baseball operations David Stearns said the Mets expect him back around that time.
The 31-year-old has yet to pitch this regular season after being diagnosed with a strained right posterior capsule in his right shoulder this spring.
