**Mets Rally Past Brewers, Prepare for NLDS Clash with Phillies**

After a dramatic comeback in the ninth inning against the Milwaukee Brewers secured Game 3 of the Wild Card Series, the New York Mets are gearing up for their next challenge, the Philadelphia Phillies, in the National League Division Series (NLDS).

The Mets announced their NLDS roster featuring a mix of new and familiar faces. The roster includes pitchers: RHP Jose Butto, RHP Edwin Diaz, RHP Reed Garrett, LHP Sean Manaea, RHP Phil Maton, RHP Tylor Megill, RHP Adam Ottavino, LHP David Peterson, LHP Jose Quintana, RHP Kodai Senga, RHP Luis Severino, RHP Ryne Stanek, and LHP Danny Young. Key infielders and hitters are Luisangel Acuña, Pete Alonso, Jose Iglesias, Francisco Lindor (switch-hitter), and Mark Vientos.

Two notable additions to this roster, Kodai Senga and Tylor Megill, were absent from the Wild Card Series. Senga was previously sidelined, recovering from an injury, while Megill had pitched in Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves, making him unavailable against the Brewers.

To accommodate Senga and Megill, the Mets have moved RHP Huascar Brazoban and RHP Max Kranick off the roster. Neither Brazoban nor Kranick took the mound during the three-game face-off with the Brewers.

While the Mets maintain just one left-handed reliever in Danny Young, the team showed its tactical flexibility by deploying David Peterson in a closing role during the Wild Card Series. Peterson's unexpected save in Game 3 highlights the team's readiness to use unconventional strategies. As they prepare to face the Phillies, the Mets' roster adjustments aim to leverage their pitching strengths and maintain their postseason momentum.
