The Mets made it clear that Kodai Senga's season was just about over after suffering a high-grade calf strain, but Sunday all but officially confirmed it.
After missing the first four months of the season with a strained shoulder and triceps inflammation, he looked like his usual ace-like self, striking out nine Braves while the Mets jumped out to a 7-2 lead.
Manager Carlos Mendoza revealed on Saturday that it was a high-grade calf strain. 'I think it's fair to say that he's pretty much done for the regular season,' the skipper said.
His loss now puts the Mets down two starters as Christian Scott deals with a UCL tear. It could potentially thrust president of baseball operations David Stearns into the trade market before MLB's July 31 deadline to bolster the starting rotation.
