Kodai Senga Tosses Clunker In Game 1 Loss

New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga had a rough outing in Game 1 of the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday, taking the loss in a 9-0 defeat. Senga had all kinds of control issues, walking four and throwing a wild pitch in his 1 innings of work. He just didn't have it tonight, which makes sense for a pitcher who had only thrown 7 IP this season between the regular season and playoffs. He can be elite when he's on, but he hasn't quite found that version of himself yet. He could get a chance to redeem himself later in the series, but manager Carlos Mendoza wouldn't confirm that and said they will have to see where Senga is at in the next few days.

Kodai Senga To Start Game 1 Of NLCS

New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga will officially start Game 1 of the National League Championship Series on Sunday at Dodger Stadium against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he's expected to go around three innings. Manager Carlos Mendoza doesn't know who the bulk reliever will be after Senga. The 31-year-old Japanese hurler made just one start during the regular season due to shoulder, calf and triceps injuries but rejoined the team's playoff roster for the NL Division Series against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. He made the start in Game 1 and allowed a solo home run while walking one and striking out three in just two innings of work. Senga might be able to go a little longer in his next outing against the Dodgers, but he won't be a recommended DFS play in the opener role against one of the best offenses in baseball. The best bet is lefty David Peterson follows Senga in the bulk role.

Kodai Senga Likely To Start Game 1 Of NLCS

New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga is likely to get the nod to start Game 1 of the National League Championship Series on Sunday against either the Los Angeles Dodgers or San Diego Padres on the road. The Mets just need to check in with all of their pitchers to make sure that everyone is on track before making a final decision on Saturday. Senga only made one start for the Mets during the regular season due to shoulder, triceps and calf injuries, but he rejoined the playoff roster for the Division Series against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies and made the start in Game 1, giving up an earned run on a solo homer while walking one and striking out three in just two innings of work. Because Senga didn't have enough time to properly stretch his arm out at the end of the year, he's likely to only go a few innings again in Game 1 of the NLCS this weekend.

Kodai Senga To Start Potential Game 5 For Mets?

New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga "continues to feel good" after his start in Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Saturday against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. It's sounding like Senga is going to be the team's starter for a potential Game 5 back at Citizens Bank Park this Friday. Senga would theoretically be able to go three innings to start the game. The 31-year-old Japanese hurler allowed one earned run on a solo home run while walking one and striking out three in just two frames in Game 1 of the NLDS, which was only his second start of 2024 due to various injuries. We know Senga has plenty of swing-and-miss stuff, but he obviously won't be too popular in DFS contests for a potential Game 5 on Friday under a limited workload.

Kodai Senga To Start Game 1 Of NLDS Against Phillies

New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga (calf, triceps) will start Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday at Citizens Bank Park, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. "We'll see," Mendoza said when asked what Senga can actually give the Mets on Saturday. "We're going to let it play out." Senga is an interesting choice to open the series after pitching in just one big-league game all year due to shoulder, calf and triceps injuries. The 31-year-old Japanese hurler's one start came on July 26 against the Atlanta Braves, when he allowed two earned runs in 5 1/3 innings with nine strikeouts and only one walk. Senga figured to only be a relief option for the Mets if he was included on their playoff roster, so he should operate as more of an opener on Saturday than a traditional starter. We wouldn't recommend using him in DFS on Saturday.

Mets Discussing Possibility Of Adding Kodai Senga To Playoff Roster

New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga (calf, triceps) has a chance to be added to the postseason roster for the NLDS. The Mets will take on the Philadelphia Phillies in a best-of-five series, and the team is discussing whether they should make him available to pitch. Senga threw batting practice on Monday and is progressing well according to the team. The 31-year-old has battled injuries all season and has only made one start with the big league club. If he is added to the roster, he will likely be on a pitch count and could be used out of the bullpen.

Kodai Senga Throws Live Batting Practice

New 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.

Kodai Senga To Make Rehab Appearance On Saturday

New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga (calf) will pitch in a minor-league rehab game with Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday and will throw one to two innings or 30 to 35 pitches. Senga missed the entire first half of the season rehabbing a shoulder injury and suffered some setbacks before straining his calf in his only start of 2024 on July 26, when he picked up a win over the Atlanta Braves by allowing two earned runs in 5 1/3 innings while walking one and striking out nine. The 31-year-old Japanese hurler has been on the injured list ever since but has been working hard to rejoin the club as a reliever out of the bullpen if they capture a wild-card spot in the National League. If Senga doesn't get injured again, he could come off the IL to rejoin the Mets in a relief role for the final week of the season. Having a fully healthy Senga in any role in the postseason would be an upgrade for New York's pitching staff.

Kodai Senga Plans To Make Rehab Appearance This Weekend

New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga (calf) intends to pitch an inning in a minor-league rehab appearances for Triple-A Syracuse this weekend in advance of joining the Mets for at least part of their final road trip through Atlanta and Milwaukee. Senga will be eligible to return from the injured list on Sept. 25, though a team official cautioned that Senga is more likely to appear later next week. The Mets play the Braves from Sept. 24-26 before concluding their regular-season schedule against the Brewers from Sept. 27-29. The second-year Japanese hurler has pitched in just one game in 2024, throwing 5 1/3 innings on July 26 before suffering a left-calf strain. Before that, Senga was rehabbing a strained posterior right shoulder capsule in the first half of the season. He has been dynamic when healthy, but with where we are in the schedule, if Senga does return, it will be in a relief role for the Mets.

Kodai Senga Makes Progress During Bullpen Session

New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga (calf) threw roughly 25 pitches during a bullpen session on Wednesday with noticeably increased intensity. Senga said recently that he's shifting his focus from his calf rehab to getting his arm back in shape, and this bullpen was a clear step in that direction. It's good news for the Mets as they try to secure the final wild-card spot in the National League down the stretch. However, with the 31-year-old Japanese hurler only making one start this year due to calf and shoulder injuries, it's more likely that he'll return in a relief role than in a starting role for the Mets near the end of September. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues still competing for a title should have already dumped Senga for healthier options.
