Mets new manager Carlos Mendoza said it's not known yet if Senga will undergo an MRI.
"After his side session yesterday, he came in and experienced some arm fatigue," Mendoza told reporters. "So he stayed inside and we're taking a look at it."
Senga, 31, finished second in National League Rookie of the Year voting last year after going 12-7 with a 2.98 ERA in 29 starts. He threw 166 1/3 innings.
Senga pitched in 275 games, racking up 1,340 2/3 innings across 11 seasons in Japan before signing with the Mets.
Senga is entering the second season of a $75 million contract he signed with the Mets in December 2022.
He is expected to anchor a rotation that also includes Jose Quintana, Luis Severino, Sean Manaea, and Adrian Houser.
