Senga is expected to be out of commission for Opening Day and begin the season on the injured list, while there is no set timeline for this.<\/p>\n<p>Senga, 31, had a record of 12-7 in his debut MLB season last year with a 2.98 ERA (142 ERA+), 1.22 WHIP, and 202 strikeouts in 166 1\/3 innings. Prior to this injury, he was probably going to start for the Mets on Opening Day in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Senga out, Jos\u00e9 Quintana will probably start on Opening Day for the Mets, with Tylor Megill, Adrian Houser, Sean Manaea, and Luis Severino in order of preference.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">F**k it, all 181 of Kodai Senga&#39;s Ghost Fork whiffs <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5XUrjj3Fl9\">pic.twitter.com\/5XUrjj3Fl9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Mets&#39;d Up Podcast (@MetsdUp) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MetsdUp\/status\/1759604000335200683?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 19, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Senga&#8217;s workload increased last season compared to his previous several years in Japan&#8217;s Nippon.<\/p>\n<p>Stearns said that Senga struggled to recover from his first bullpen session in camp, but this kind of exhaustion is normal for pitchers who are new to spring training.<\/p>\n<p>However, there was alarm when Senga&#8217;s next session revealed that the weariness continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe knew we weren\u2019t going to go through a full season with just five or six starters and here we are,\u201d Stearns said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got plenty of options.

In Major League Baseball, four days off is usual, yet during the entire year, he only had three starts on four days off.
