PHILADELPHIA -- New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga will start Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies after missing the last two months with a calf injury.
The 31-year-old Senga, who was the Mets' best pitcher last season, hasn't thrown since July 29, when he left his only outing of the season after 5 1/3 innings with a calf strain. Shoulder and triceps injuries had sidelined Senga for the season's first four months.
Senga and Mets manager Carlos Mendoza were coy when asked how deep into the game Senga could pitch.
