The New York Mets received some good news ahead of their NLDS Game 1 against the Philadelphia Phillies. Ace pitcher Kodai Senga is set to make his return to the mound after missing two months due to a calf injury. This comes after a thrilling postseason victory against the Milwaukee Brewers in the Wild Card Series.
Senga’s return will provide a much-needed boost to the Mets’ rotation, which has been under pressure in recent days. His presence will allow Luis Severino to start Game 2 and Sean Manaea to start Game 3 on normal rest.
Known for his dominant pitching and his signature “Ghost Forkball,” Senga has had success against the Phillies in the past. In two previous starts, he has recorded a 1.46 ERA with 15 strikeouts in 12.1 innings pitched.
Fans can catch the action as Game 1 of the NLDS kicks off at 4:08 p.m. ET from Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, airing on FOX. Stay tuned for more updates on Kodai Senga and the Mets on AMNY.com.
