Ace right-hander Noah Syndergaard is not the only Mets pitcher dealing with a bone spur in his elbow. Lefty Steven Matz has the same issue, and Tuesday afternoon GM Sandy Alderson confirmed Matz's next start will be pushed back a day to manage the discomfort.

Matz, 25, is 7-3 with a 3.29 ERA (121 ERA+) in 13 starts and 76 2/3 innings so far this season.
