Kodai Senga Throws Live Batting Practice
3 days agoNew York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga (calf, triceps) threw a 25-pitch live batting practice session on Monday, but there's no word on his availability for future playoff rounds. Senga is making progress, but he wasn't included on the team's roster for the wild-card series against the San Diego Padres that begins on Tuesday at Petco Park. If the Mets pull the upset and advance past the Padres, the 31-year-old Japanese hurler could have a shot to join New York's bullpen in a relief role for the NLDS versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. He has made just one start for the Mets this year after recovering from a shoulder injury in the first half of the season. Senga suffered a calf strain in his lone start and later felt tightness in his triceps while making a rehab appearance in late September. His only chance to return in the playoffs will be as a reliever.
