NEW YORK (AP) — Mets pitcher Kodai Senga will start Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against Jack Flaherty and the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday, continuing his comeback from injuries that have limited him to two starts this year.
New York manager Carlos Mendoza said Saturday “everybody should be available and ready to go” in his bullpen.
“So it’s Senga and then we’ll see after that," he said before the Mets held a light workout at Citi Field prior to leaving for Los Angeles.
Flaherty joined the Dodgers from Detroit at the July 30 trade deadline. The right-hander struggled in Game 2 of the NL Division Series against the San Diego Padres, giving up four earned runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings.
