Kodai Senga was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right hamstring strain Friday, a day after covering first base on a grounder to Pete Alonso in the sixth inning. Senga had to reach up while stepping on the base because of a high throw and immediately grabbed the back of his leg and collapsed to the floor.
