  10/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Mets manager Carlos Mendoza indicated that Senga is unlikely to pitch Friday in Game 5 of the NLCS against the Dodgers, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Mendoza had previously said Senga would be used in some capacity. However, David Peterson will start the game and it now appears Mendoza doesn't intend to use Senga in relief, barring an emergency. Senga started Game 1 of the NLCS and yielded three runs with a 0:4 K:BB over 1.1 innings.

  10/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday that Senga will pitch Friday in Game 5 of the NLCS versus the Dodgers, although not necessarily as the starter, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Senga started Game 1 of the NLCS and struggled mightily, allowing three runs with a 0:4 K:BB over 1.1 innings. While Mendoza is committed to giving the right-hander another shot in Game 5, it appears it could come as a reliever.

• Mets' Kodai Senga: Named NLCS Game 1 starter

  10/12/2024 • By RotoWire

  Senga will start Game 1 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Senga managed to last only two innings during his start in Game 1 of the NLDS -- his first time pitching since suffering a left calf strain in late July. There's a good chance he makes another abbreviated start Sunday, opening up an opportunity for David Peterson to possibly work as a bulk reliever.

  Senga is likely to start Game 1 of the NLCS on Sunday, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports. The Mets don't know their opponent yet, but it appears they're leaning toward giving the ball to Senga rather than Sean Manaea or Luis Severino, regardless of whether they're playing the Padres or Dodgers. Senga went two innings in his lone NLDS start and would be limited again Sunday, with David Peterson likely to serve as a bulk innings option.

  10/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  Mets manager Carlos Mendoza indicated Monday that Senga is likely to start a potential Game 5 of the NLDS against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Mendoza is holding off on naming a starter until he knows whether the game will be necessary, but Senga is tentatively lined up after recovering from his Game 1 start with no issues. Senga allowed one run over two innings in Game 1 and is expected to be stretched out for three frames in a potential Game 5 start.
