Senga's role, future with Mets uncertain entering '26 offseason

Kodai Senga is set to make his final appearance of the year in Washington before facing an uncertain future regarding his position with the Mets. Over the past two months in a relief assignment, he registered a 3.78 ERA with twenty-two strikeouts across sixteen and two-thirds innings.

Closer Devin Williams praised his high-velocity fastball and effective forkball, suggesting he would make a strong high-leverage bullpen piece, while manager Andy Green noted the pitcher's expressed preference to remain in the starting rotation. Green also pointed to Senga's stellar 2.98 ERA during his 2.98 ERA rookie campaign in 2023 as a performance the team hopes he can recapture.

With a number of young starters establishing themselves and potential roster changes ahead, club leadership must decide how best to deploy him for the upcoming season.
