Kodai Senga:
Senga, who suffered a calf strain in his only appearance this season, is working toward returning around September 26, when he’s eligible to come off the IL. Senga noted he understands the Mets’ final games might be their most important. If he’s not 100% by the time September 26 rolls around, he won’t push it. He did mention, however, that he is willing to appear in any capacity the Mets need him in if ready. This includes his usual starter role but also in a relief capacity.
In his one appearance this season, Senga allowed two hits, two runs, one walk and nine strikeouts in just over five innings pitched against Atlanta.
