Mets' pitcher Kodai Senga is set to begin his throwing program within a week, following 'very, very encouraging' results from his latest MRI. Sidelined due to a shoulder issue, Senga's anticipated May return is a significant boost for the Mets as they prepare for the upcoming season, with Opening Day scheduled for March 28 at CitiField. In related team news, Tylor Megill has secured a spot in the Mets' rotation after learning a new pitch from Senga over the winter, and Luis Severino is also expressing optimism about his health as the season approaches, saying he 'feels really good'.

Maybe the #Mets FOMO was alleviated some by Yamamoto's debut flameout, but can their low-cost rotation get by on more than schadenfreude as they await Kodai Senga's May return? https://t.co/CXVU40VC0R

Kodai Senga, through interpreter Hiro Fujiwara, says: "I feel good. I feel ready." He expects to begin playing catch within the next week, once he passes internal testing. But Senga cannot say for sure how long his ramp-up -- a typical spring progression from here -- will take.
