Noah Syndergaard is ducking Mets again

This is getting funny.

Noah Syndergaard will miss the Mets again. The Phillies have pushed back the right-hander’s next start, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. Syndergaard was supposed to pitch Sunday against the Mets in Philly, but now he’ll go Monday against the Reds.

In a vacuum, it makes complete sense. The Phillies want to give Syndergaard an extra day of rest after he threw seven innings on four days rest his last time out. The guy is in his first full season post-Tommy John surgery and they are in a pennant race.
