Noah Syndergaard Stats

The New York Mets will shut down starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (elbow) for six weeks due to right elbow inflammation. Syndergaard was forced to leave his rehab start on Tuesday with what was described as discomfort in his elbow. While no structural damage has been found in Syndergaard's arm, the team is still proceeding with caution. Being shut down for six weeks puts him on a rather long timeline for a return. Fantasy managers should expect for him not to make his 2021 debut until August at the earliest.

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (elbow) will be evaluated on Wednesday after exiting his rehab start early on Tuesday night, according to Tim Britton of The Athletic. Syndergaard departed his start on Tuesday after one inning with what was originally described as "soreness" in his right elbow, but manager Luis Rojas classified it late Tuesday night as "more like discomfort" in his elbow, adding that "no one's overly concerned" about the issue. While managers will still hold their breath until the results of tomorrow's evaluation, it appears they can let out a small sigh of relief that this likely won't be a significant setback for Syndergaard. If there's no major flags that are raised from the evaluation Wednesday, Syndergaard should remain on track to return from Tommy John surgery sometime next month.

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (elbow) was removed from his rehab start on Tuesday night after one inning due to soreness in his right elbow, the team announced on Twitter. The Mets described the move as precautionary, however given the team's injury issues this year it's not unreasonable to be worried this could be a setback in his recovery from Tommy John surgery. Syndergaard was expected to rejoin the team sometime in June, but now managers will wait to see if his timetable has changed after his early exit. Continue to stash him on your team's IL for now, but keep an eye out for further updates on his condition over the next few days.
