Peterson would be the obvious candidate to replace Senga as the starter, but it would take him out of the relief role that he has been so valuable in. If Peterson doesn’t pitch in Games 3 and 4, he could get the nod in Game 5. If not, he will almost certainly piggyback Senga. If Peterson does pitch in Games 3 and 4, his availability to go behind Senga would be in question. The most likely candidate to replace him in the piggyback role would be Tylor Megill, who didn’t pitch in Games 1 and 2 and threw seven shutout innings in his only appearance against the Dodgers back in May.
