New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard is headed to the disabled list after contracting hand, foot and mouth disease, according to James Wagner of the New York Times.
Mets manager John Ricco only expects Syndergaard to miss one start, per Wagner.
The Mayo Clinic defines the disease as a contagious viral infection that "is characterized by sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet" and is common in children. Wagner notes the team believes the pitcher contracted it while working at a youth camp during the All-Star break.
