After playing catch in the outfield on Wednesday at Citi Field, media members gathered around Senga in front of the Mets’ dugout. There, he declared that if the Mets deem him ready to come off the injured list when he’s first eligible on Sept. 25, he’ll do whatever it takes to them win.

As the Mets push for the postseason, there’s still a chance they add a significant piece to their pitching staff. Ace Kodai Senga is aiming to make a one-inning appearance in a minor-league game before the end of the Triple-A season this weekend.

New York Mets right-hander Kodai Sengaremains intent on pitching again before the regular season concludes on Sept. 29. Senga told reporters on Wednesday (including FOX's Deesha Thosar) that he won't return until he feels 100% given how important each game is to the Mets' playoff chances.

Kodai Senga wants to be pitching in a game this weekend. Though it would just be a minor league rehab game with Triple-A Syracuse, he hopes it leads to getting back onto the Mets staff in some role in time for the postseason.

New York Mets pitcher Kodai Senga is hoping to get in a Triple-A game this weekend with the hope of potentially returning next week, but he stressed that he will not do it unless he is 100%, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.

Kodai Senga will be eligible to come off the IL on Sept. 25 and the Mets still have decisions to make regarding the right-hander, who has been out since suffering a strained calf on July 26 in his lone start of the season in the majors.
