By now, we know that the New York Mets don’t know if they will have Jacob deGrom back this season. His elbow injury has been well-covered, and while he is already throwing, he may not have enough time to return in 2021.
Noah Syndergaard, on the other hand, does have a chance to pitch for the Mets this season, although he will, most likely, do it as a reliever. He recently had a bout with COVID-19, but is now out of quarantine.
Syndergaard threw a bullpen Friday, and Mets’ manager Luis Rojas remains optimistic that the righty, who hasn’t pitched since 2019, will be able to take the ball before the season expires.
