WASHINGTON -- A pair of high-profile New York Mets pitchers have issues with their prized elbows.
The Mets confirmed that Steven Matz is dealing with a bone spur in his left elbow and might miss Wednesday's start against the Washington Nationals. He could undergo in-season surgery if he is unable to effectively pitch through it.
Meanwhile, after Noah Syndergaard underwent an MRI for discomfort in the back of his right elbow last week and was prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, he lasted only three innings in an 11-4 loss to the Washington Nationals on Monday.
