Kodai Senga, Tylor Megill added to NLDS roster as Mets’ pitching plan takes shape

· New York Post

PHILADELPHIA — The Mets NLDS roster featured two adjustments, the surprise unveiled a day earlier.

Kodai Senga, who has made one start all season and who has been rehabbing from both a calf strain and triceps tightness, is on the 26-man roster and expected to start Game 1 against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on Saturday.

Also added to the group is Tylor Megill, who was left off the wild-card series roster because he pitched 5 ⅔ innings Monday and would not be fresh in time.

In turn, the Mets removed righties Max Kranick and Huascar Brazoban from the roster.

Kranick was a surprise activation for the wild-card series after not having thrown a pitch in the majors all season, but strong bullpen work with Triple-A Syracuse made him the pick. 

Brazoban did not pitch in Milwaukee and had fallen down the bullpen hierarchy, his control an issue recently.
