The New York Mets need all the help they can get, and Noah Syndergaard, currently rehabbing from Tommy John surgery performed last spring, should be ready to return in September after experiencing a setback in June.
He is now getting closer to helping the Mets, although he is still not quite there. However, according to general manager Zack Scott, he may not return as a starter.
In late July, Scott talked about the possibility of Thor coming back as a reliever. Theoretically, it would mean a faster return given that he won’t have to stretch out to five or six innings before being slotted in the Mets’ rotation.
