After Senga struggled in Game 1 of the series, the Mets will roll out David Peterson instead as the starter. Senga could enter the game in relief.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Kodai Senga is "still the most logical candidate to start Game 5."

Jose Quintana was confirmed as the starter for Game 4. Senga allowed three runs and walked four across just 1 1/3 innings in Game 1 against the Dodgers.

Kodai Senga would be in line to start Game 5 of the NLDS against the Phillies if necessary.

Senga made his return in Game 1. He allowed a leadoff home run to Kyle Schwarber, which was the only hit he allowed across two innings. It is possible he gives the Mets another inning or two in another start.

Kodai Senga is reportedly "in the conversation" for a spot on the Mets' NLDS roster.

Senga threw a live bullpen session earlier in the week. He was left off the Wild Card roster, but could be ready to return to the Mets for the NLDS series against the Phillies.

Kodai Senga will not return to the Mets in the regular season.

Senga felt tightness in his triceps after his rehab appearance Saturday for Triple-A Syracuse. It is possible he returns if the Mets make the playoffs.
