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.

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