Senga Godai
Japanese pitcher Kodai Senga (31), who plays for the New York Mets of the Major League Baseball (MLB), announced the possibility of an early return.
Mets coach Carlos Mendoza said on the 22nd (Korean time), "Senga's recent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan showed very encouraging results," and added, "The shoulder inflammation has almost disappeared, and treatment has entered the final stage."
Coach Mendoza then added, “If there are no major problems with my shoulder in the future, I plan to start pitching practice next week.”
Senga, who signed a five-year contract worth $75 million (approximately 100 billion won) with the Mets last year, recorded 12 wins, 7 losses, and an earned run average (ERA) of 2.98, ranking first in the team in wins and ERA.
In particular, after Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander, who were the 'one-two punch' of the Mets' opening game last year, were traded during the season, Senga played an active role as an ace. 스포츠 토토사이트
After last season, he ranked 2nd in the National League Rookie of the Year voting and 7th in the Cy Young Award voting.
However, as soon as this spring camp started, Senga complained of shoulder pain and stopped training.
Fortunately, surgery was not necessary, but the inflammation was treated for nearly a month.
It is said that it will take Senga at least six weeks to get into normal condition when he starts pitching training next week.
If rehabilitation is successful, he is expected to join the starting rotation in May. 슬롯사이트
