New York Mets Opening Day starter Noah Syndergaard is headed to the 10-day disabled list with a strained index finger on his pitching hand.
The Mets announced that Syndergaard was examined Tuesday after experiencing soreness in his right index finger. The move to the DL will be retroactive to May 26.
The DL stint for Syndergaard is the latest bit of bad news for the injury-plagued Mets, who already are without slugger Yoenis Cespedes, third baseman Todd Frazier, center fielder Juan Lagares, starting catcher Travis d'Arnaud, infielder Wilmer Flores and relievers AJ Ramos and Anthony Swarzak.
