Mets ace pitcher Kodai Senga sustained a right hamstring injury during his start against the Nationals, leading to his exit in the sixth inning while the team was ahead 4-0. Senga jumped to catch a high throw from teammate Pete Alonso but landed awkwardly, grabbing his leg before walking off the field. He has been placed on the injured list for at least ten days, marking a significant loss for the Mets, as he had an impressive season record of 7-3 with a 1.47 ERA, helping the team maintain the best record in baseball at 45-24.
