Syndergaard calls bone spur 'pretty insignificant'
WASHINGTON -- Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard cleared up some questions about the status of his elbow, acknowledging Wednesday he has a bone spur but calling it "pretty insignificant."
"[I can] pitch through it with no pain. I'll be ready to go in five days," he said before New York's game against the Washington Nationals.
Syndergaard said he's being treated with medication.
New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard lasted only three innings and gave up five earned runs against the Washington Nationals on Monday, June 27."As long as I'm staying on my anti-inflammatories and my mechanics are on point, I'm able to go out there every five days and compete," he said.
