Kodai Senga went down with a calf injury in the Mets 8-4 win over the Braves. It was Senga’s first start of the season:

Citi Field, so loud, boisterous and full of life one moment, suddenly sounded like a library — 34,673 fans joining each other in disbelief. 

In his 2024 debut, Kodai Senga went down while trying to move out of the way of a pop-up and he wasn’t getting up.

The ace right-hander, sidelined the entire season up until this point with shoulder and triceps injuries, was holding his left calf in pain. 

The party was over.

Before he was famous, Sig Mejdal sent me a paper he wrote on the frequency of injuries, including that the probability of being re-injured showed exponential decay from the moment of return. That is, a player is most likely to be re-injured when he returns from the illjured list. We saw this happen twice this week.
