Mets' Kodai Senga: Open to returning as reliever

Senga (calf) said Monday that he's open to the idea of returning as a reliever later this season, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Coming back as a reliever might be Senga's only shot to pitch for the Mets again this season. He played catch on the field again Monday but still has numerous hoops to jump through in his recovery from a left calf strain. Senga is eligible for activation from the 60-day injured list Sept. 26.
