Terry Collins said he doesn’t envision using either Steven Matz or Noah Syndergaard in relief in the postseason if the Mets get that far.
“You’re talking about a guy who’s had injury issues,” Collins said of Matz. “To ask him to do something he hasn’t done before — to try to go warm up fast, get ready in a hurry — I’m not sure it’s fair to him.”
As for Syndergaard, Collins said, “All that’s been said about how good our starting pitching is — I think his name is a part of that. And if we are fortunate to get into (the playoffs), I think you have to go with your best pitchers in the spots they’re best at.
