Syndergaard expected to make next start after tearing fingernails

Mets RHP Noah Syndergaard is expected to make his next scheduled start after leaving Friday's game against the Marlins with two torn fingernails on his pitching hand.

Syndergaard told reporters after the game that he will put fake nails on his index and middle fingers, reports Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

"It's frustrating that a little hiccup like this could take me out of the game," Syndergaard said. "It was a long game last night and all I wanted to do is stay in there as long as I could to give the bullpen a break.
