The Mets are preparing to activate Kodai Senga off the injured list after a lengthy rehab from a shoulder injury. Senga recently made a rehab start with Triple-A Syracuse, hitting 99 MPH. Mets limit him to five innings and 85 pitches for his anticipated season debut this week against the Atlanta Braves.

This move affects the bullpen, with the Mets considering options for relievers to maintain flexibility. Jake Diekman may be a potential candidate for assignment, and there is a possibility of sending Danny Young back to Triple-A to accommodate Senga's return.
