When Noah Syndergaard missed his start on Thursday, it was reported that he had biceps discomfort. On Friday, the Mets’ right-hander reportedly not only said he felt great but that he should have pitched the day prior. Evidently he had declined a suggested MRI. We all know how that turned out when, only four outs into his start Sunday, Syndergaard clutched his right underarm before exiting the field in pain.
The New York Times then reported that general manager Sandy Alderson noted that the pitcher’s latest issue “may or may not be related to his previous complaint, which was biceps, so we have to wait and see what happens.
