NEW YORK (AP) — Kodai Senga, who has yet to pitch this season for the New York Mets due to a right shoulder capsule strain, will continue working on his mechanics before beginning a rehab assignment.

“With my current mechanics, I didn’t think I’d be able to come back at 100 percent,” Senga said via an interpreter prior to Monday’s series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies. “So taking a little bit of time to look over everything, making sure everything is perfect before I get back into games, is the right move.”

Senga said his mechanics didn’t feel right during his first live batting practice session April 29. The uncertainty continued after a second batting practice session May 4.

“All my power output was not going toward the catcher,” Senga said. “I wasn’t able to deliver 100% of it toward the catcher, which is very important. When that is happening, I’m more susceptible to getting hit and also more susceptible to injuries if that continues.”
