PHILADELPHIA — The Mets have opened the NLDS with a stunner.
Kodai Senga, who has pitched in one game this season and who strained his calf in that July 26 outing, is getting the ball.
Manager Carlos Mendoza announced the shocker on Friday at Citizens Bank Park, where the Mets and Phillies will begin the NLDS on Saturday.
“We’ll see,” Mendoza asked of what he expects from Senga. “We’re gonna let it play out. He’s been in Florida throwing, facing hitters. We have a plan, but we’re gonna go out there and watch him closely and go from there. But he’s ready to go.”
Senga will not be stretched out as a normal starter and could pitch for an inning or two before giving way to a longer option such as David Peterson or Tylor Megill.
Senga approached the Mets on Wednesday, Mendoza said, and essentially announced he was ready.
