Kodai Senga, the right-handed pitcher for the New York Mets, has been sidelined with lumbar spine inflammation and stated on Wednesday that he does not have a timetable for his return. He was added to the injured list after a lackluster performance against the Colorado Rockies, where he allowed three runs in just 2.2 innings. Meanwhile, center fielder Luis Robert Jr. is also facing potential injury issues as he has missed the last two games due to lower back tightness. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza indicated that Robert is scheduled for an MRI to determine the severity of his condition and whether he will need to be placed on the injured list. Robert, who was acquired from the Chicago White Sox, has a history of injuries that impacted his performance in previous seasons. He had a strong start to this season but has since cooled off significantly. Senga, who signed with the Mets prior to the 2023 season, has also experienced a decline in performance after an initially promising start. Both players' injuries could have significant implications for the Mets as they aim to improve their standings in the league.
