Noah Syndergaard Stats

The New York Mets and starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard avoided salary arbitration on Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $9.7 million deal, according to sources. The 28-year-old right-hander missed all of the 2020 shortened season after having Tommy John surgery last March. The All-Star is scheduled to become a free agent after the 2021 season. President Sandy Alderson said earlier this month that a June return for Syndergaard is a "reasonable expectation." Thor had a career-high 197 2/3 innings in 2019 but also had a career-high 4.28 ERA. He's posted a 3.31 career ERA in parts of five seasons with the Mets. The hard-throwing starter has always been a high-end strikeout artist, but injuries have made him a high-risk, high-reward fantasy asset.

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (elbow) underwent successful Tommy John surgery on Thursday. Assuming Syndergaard has no setbacks in his rehabilitation, he will miss 12-14 months and return sometime in the 2021 season. Syndergaard should be avoided in all 2020 redraft leagues. Syndergaard had been looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2019 campaign that saw him post a career-high 4.28 ERA and give up a league-high 94 earned runs. With his season-ending injury, both Steven Matz and Michael Wacha should both be assured of rotation spots when the 2020 season begins, making both pitchers fantasy relevant in mixed and NL-only leagues.

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (elbow) has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery in the near future, according to sources. The surgery will keep Syndergaard out until April of 2021 at the earliest, and his rehab is likely to stretch into the summer months of next season. You'll obviously want to avoid Thor if you've yet to have your fantasy baseball draft. It's tough news for the hard-throwing right-hander, as he was looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2019 campaign that saw him post a career-high 4.28 ERA and give up a league-high 94 earned runs. With his season-ending injury, both Steven Matz and Michael Wacha should both be assured of rotation spots when the 2020 season begins.
