Kodai Senga has been moved to the bullpen by New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza following a poor performance against the Chicago Cubs, where he allowed seven runs and five walks in just 3 2/3 innings. His struggles have resulted in a 10.09 ERA this season, marking the worst of his five-year MLB career. Senga, a 2023 All-Star, is currently owed $14 million this season, with a $15 million option for 2028. Meanwhile, shortstop Francisco Lindor is set to return from the IL after recovering from a calf strain.
