Noah Syndergaard is on the disabled list, and the Mets don’t know when he will be back:
“Pitcher Noah Syndergaard underwent an MRI this morning at the Hospital for Special Surgery. The MRI revealed a partial tear of the right lat muscle,” the Mets said in a statement. “At this point, there is no timeframe for his return. He will be placed on the 10-day disabled list.”
I suspect the muscle was strained, which caused the discomfort that forced him to miss a start. The pain relievers allowed him to throw again, but the force of pitching in the game finally tore the muscle.
Nationals manager Dusty Baker, whose team set a franchise record for runs, said he noticed something about Syndergaard in the first inning.
“We could tell something was wrong,” Baker said. “He was throwing the ball firm, but it wasn’t moving like usual. When you have a guy like that, you certainly have to jump on him.”
When I was very young, we had a Dachshund. One day we came downstairs, and he was just lying still on the floor. We knew something was wrong, so we took him to the vet. The vet diagnosed a slipped disk in the neck (common for that breed) and recommended rest. The vet noted that dogs handle injuries better than people. They just rest until they are better. It’s a lesson that Syndergaard learned the hard way.
