PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- About a year ago, soon after the New York Mets reported to spring training, presumed ace Kodai Senga was shut down indefinitely with a shoulder injury.
On Tuesday, the right-hander said the shoulder trouble is behind him and he is healthy and ready to assume a full workload in 2025.
"I'm not worried at all," Senga said through an interpreter at the Mets' spring training complex Tuesday. "I just need to ramp up slowly and get through spring training healthy and get through the year healthy."
Senga, 32, is entering the third year of a five-year, $75 million contract with the Mets after beginning his professional career in Japan.
