"Kodai Senga is injured," MLB .com's Anthony DiComo reported. "He took a fall at first base attempting to beat a runner to the bag, and he spent a long time down on the ground surrounded by coaches and trainers."

While the New York Mets won their June 12 game against the Washington Nationals, the mood around the team after the game felt much more like a loss. This is because ace Kodai Senga suffered a hamstring strain while running to cover first base after a ground ball to Pete Alonso in the sixth inning.

New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga exited Thursday's win against the Washington Nationals ( box score) in the sixth inning after straining his hamstring. After the game, manager Carlos Mendoza announced Senga will head to the injured list and will undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the severity of the injury.
