If all goes according to plan, both Kodai Senga and Sean Manaea should be back pitching for the New York Mets in Kansas City.

Mets pitcher Kodai Senga is about to make his return to the mound after nearly a month away from the big league mound.

From Wednesday to Sunday they had to play six games in five days against playoff-contending opponents in the Brewers and Yankees and do it with Sean Manaea, Kodai Senga, Griffin Canning, Tylor Megill and Paul Blackburn – a veritable starting rotation – all on the injured list.
