Mets place Syndergaard on DL with partial tear of lat muscle

ATLANTA — The New York Mets placed ace right-hander Noah Syndergaard on the 10-day disabled list on Monday after a MRI revealed a partial tear of his right lat muscle.

The Mets said there is no timetable for Syndergaard's return.

Syndergaard left his start Sunday against Washington in pain, a development that came only a couple days after he said he felt fine and refused a MRI.

Syndergaard (1-2) allowed five runs on five hits in the first inning of a 23-5 loss to the Nationals. He grimaced after throwing a second-inning strike to Bryce Harper and reached for his right armpit.
