Pitching in his first live game since suffering a hamstring strain in June, Senga lasted just 3.2 innings for the Double-A Binghamton Rumble Ponies on Saturday. He struck out four but allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits with two walks.

Kodai Senga, who is targeting a return to Mets' ravaged rotation next weekend in Kansas City, threw 68 pitches in a rehab start for Double-A Binghamton.

A little more than three weeks after straining his right hamstring and landing on the injured list, Kodai Senga returned to the mound Saturday in what could wind up being his only Minor League rehab start.
