“It’s hard to say when…” 103.3 billion days of ace, 30 bullpen pitching… Do you see any hope of returning

Senga, who is on the 60-day injured list (IL) due to a right shoulder injury, took a step toward his return by pitching a bullpen. “Senga threw 30 bullpen pitches at his home stadium on the 13th (Korea time),” Japanese media outlet “Sponizia Nex” said.

Cenga, who played his second bullpen pitching since receiving cortisone injections to curb inflammation, told local media that “it seems to be going smoothly.”

Senga had previously stopped training due to shoulder pain right after the start of the spring camp in February. After not catching the ball for about a month, Senga started his rehabilitation process with catch ball training in late March, went through bullpen pitching, and finally reached the live pitching stage on April 30.

Cenga, who showed off his good condition by raising his ball to the mid-90 mph in his first live pitching, is expected to return on May 28, when he will be released from the IL on the 60th.

On May 20, however, Senga failed to play a bullpen session, which had been scheduled due to a triceps strain in his right arm. An MRI revealed a new inflammation, and the rehabilitation process was eventually suspended again. 토토사이트 순위

Senga, who entered the U.S. stage with a five-year, $75 million (about 103.3 billion won) contract with the Mets ahead of the 2023 season, made a soft landing in his first year of debut with an outstanding performance of 12 wins and 7 losses and 2.98 ERA.

In particular, he gave a strong impression by striking out 202 in 166 ⅓ innings with his flagship folk ball, which is called the “ghost folk.” Based on his performance, Senga accepted his A+ scorecard, including the National League All-Star, the second-highest rookie vote, and the seventh-highest Cy Young Award vote.

However, the second year has yet to start the season. Senga stopped training due to shoulder pain right after the start of the spring camp in February, and entered a new season with the IL on Tuesday, and suddenly stopped the rehabilitation process due to pain while taking steps to return to the team at the end of May.

“It’s hard to say when. Of course, I want to take the mound as soon as possible, but there is a rehabilitation process. The only thing I need to focus on is recovering quickly and throwing as many innings as possible,” Cenga said. When asked if he can come back within this season, Cenga expressed his will to come back.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza predicted that Senga would need two more bullpen sessions to pitch against batters. Mendoza said, “(Senga’s rehabilitation process) had many ups and downs, and it took much longer than expected. Now that Senga is on the mound, I hope he can continue to make progress and play soon.”
