The Mets are talking about adding star power to the NLDS roster against the Phillies

The Mets have discussed whether to use Kodai Senga for the National League Division Series against the Phillies, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

According to Sammon, the club was still undecided on Thursday evening and squads are not due until Saturday morning.

Sammon also reported that Senga threw 25 pitches in a live bullpen session in Florida earlier this week.

Senga began the season on the injured list after injuring his shoulder within a week of the pitcher and catcher reporting to spring training.

He made just one start during the regular season. Senga was activated before his July 26 start against the Braves – he allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings with nine strikeouts – However, he suffered a strained calf in the sixth inning, landing him back on the injured list.

Last season, Senga posted a 12-7 record with a 2.98 ERA and 202 strikeouts over 166-1/3 innings (10.9 SO/9) in 29 starts. This earned him an All-Star award and NL Cy Young votes – he finished seventh in the award.
