Mets scratch Noah Syndergaard with discomfort in biceps

The New York Mets had already pushed back Noah Syndergaard's turn in the rotation by a day, but before Thursday afternoon's game against the Atlanta Braves, the right-hander was scratched with discomfort in his biceps.

Robert Gsellman started Wednesday night for Syndergaard, and manager Terry Collins said that Matt Harvey was moved back into his regular turn Thursday.

Gsellman was scheduled to pitch Tuesday against Atlanta in a game that was rained out, and the Mets initially said they would skip their No. 5 starter and let Syndergaard pitch Wednesday on normal rest.
