Senga (finger) threw off flat ground from about 90 feet Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Senga remains inactive off a mound as he nurses tendinitis at the base of his right index finger, but Monday's throwing session is a step in the right direction for the right-hander. Senga is confident that he'll be ready to go for Opening Day, but only time will tell. The Mets will certainly be cautious with their potential star, and the 30-year-old will likely have many more throwing sessions ahead of the regular season.
