New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga, the major league ERA leader, was diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain of his right hamstring Friday, hours after he was placed on the 15-day injured list. Manager Carlos Mendoza said after the Mets' 7-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays that Senga will be shut down for two weeks before being re-evaluated.

According to manager Carlos Mendoza, Senga said he felt his hamstring grab one stride before he made a leaping grab of Alonso’s high throw.

There’s a saying in baseball that playing time seems to work itself out. That sure is true in Queens at the moment.
