NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — To say the Mets have been decimated by injuries this season is an understatement, but their latest one is if nothing else confusing.
Following New York’s brutal 11-4 loss in Washington on Monday night, a game the Mets actually led 4-0, starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard refuted a report that said he is suffering from a bone spur or bone chips in his pitching elbow. The injury is similar to the one plaguing Steven Matz, who had another MRI earlier Monday.
Syndergaard left last Wednesday’s start against Kansas City after six innings due to an apparent elbow problem.
