Kodai Senga ‘in a good spot’ ahead of first Triple-A start as path back to Mets begins
NY Post
PHILADELPHIA — Kodai Senga’s quest back to the majors and back to Mets relevance begins Friday.
The one-time ace will make his first start with Triple-A Syracuse after accepting a minor league option last Friday amid significant struggles at the major league level.
Senga is expected to make two starts to demonstrate to himself and the team that he has straightened himself out in time for what could be one final regular-season major league start.
Since being demoted, Senga has been throwing bullpen sessions and working on his mechanics, which he partially blamed for a miserable, eight-start stretch in which he pitched to a 6.56 ERA.
“He feels good. He feels like he’s in a good spot,” manager Carlos Mendoza said of Senga after those targeted bullpen sessions. “He’s made some adjustments with his mechanics. Now he’s got to go out on the mound and we got to see.”
The Mets have six starting pitchers at the moment and could get “creative,” as Mendoza has said, with the rotation after Monday’s off day.
If we’re taking Leon Rose at his press-release words — which represents his only form of public communication these days — then the Knicks absolutely have to blitz for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The alliance between the Mara Family and the Tisch Family has, by and large, been the gold standard for all such partnership agreements. From the moment Wellington Mara and Robert Tisch entered into their 50-50 arrangement at the top of the Giants’ organizational flow chart on Feb. 21, 1991, this has been a model affiliation.
Cody Bellinger remains the Yankees’ No. 1 target, and while they aren’t necessarily close to a deal, they are making a big effort.
It wouldn’t be an NFL week if there weren’t some sort of controversy.
The Knicks have time to think. Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t going anywhere just yet.
OTTAWA, Ontario — When the Rangers bench asked for the puck Artemi Panarin had just shot into an empty-net to secure a 4-2 victory for the Rangers over the Senators on Thursday night at Canadian Tire Center, the star Russian wing turned around and asked why.
The Knicks got a significant injury boost with OG Anunoby.
Brock Nelson got his standing ovation.
The Red Sox traded one of their top prospects to the Pirates to help boost their rotation as part of a five-player trade Thursday night.
As we arrive at the final five weeks of the NFL regular season, the quarterback market for 2026 continues to take shape.
Tyler Kolek is getting his opportunity as the backup point guard and, frankly, it’s not going well.
Less than two weeks removed from being a point away from the bottom of the Eastern Conference, the Rangers appear to be surging again, winning four of their past five games heading into Thursday’s match at Ottawa.
This is not a great time for the Mets to need a center fielder.
