Mets move Kodai Senga to bullpen after poor performance
Summary

The New York Mets have decided to move Kodai Senga from the starting rotation to the bullpen due to his struggles this season, reflected in a 10.08 ERA over seven starts. The decision follows a particularly poor outing against the Chicago Cubs where he allowed seven earned runs in just 3.2 innings. With a record of 0-6, Senga's performance has contributed to the Mets' disappointing standing at 34-44, raising concerns about their postseason prospects. Senga will now look to regain form as a long reliever.
