Kodai Senga has begun communicating with Mets co-aces Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer to get their input on various topics, including the five-man rotation and side sessions between starts.
He used PitchCom for the first time during his latest throwing session, and is also adjusting to the new pitch clock.
Manager Buck Showalter is interested in seeing Joey Lucchesi in action during an intrasquad scrimmage and is considering him as an option from the bullpen or as rotation depth.
Showalter is also considering keeping minor league players in major league camp longer to benefit from their experience with the pitch clock.
