Kodai Senga Injury: Diagnosed with Grade 1 strain

Senga was diagnosed Friday with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Senga, who was placed on the injured list earlier Friday, will use the next two weeks to rest before being re-evaluated, at which point the Mets may begin to map out the next steps of his recovery. In the meantime, Paul Blackburn is expected to fill the gap in New York's starting rotation. Per Tim Britton of the Athletic, Senga isn't expected back until the second half of July, after the All-Star break.
