The New York Mets placed pitcher Noah Syndergaard on the 10-day disabled list due to a strained ligament in his right index finger, the team announced.
The move is retroactive to May 26.
The team said that Syndergaard was examined at The Hospital for Special Surgery for soreness in his right index finger and that an MRI confirmed the injury.
Syndergaard is 4–1 with a 3.06 ERA and 76 strikeouts this season.
Syndergaard's injury adds to the injury woes the Mets have. Just this week, New York placed reliever AJ Ramos and infielder Wilmer Flores on the DL.
