New York Mets’ starter Noah Syndergaard underwent Tommy John surgery last March, so the team expected him to be ready to contribute in MLB around June or July if everything went according to the plan.
That was the case, until last night. Thor, one of the best starters on the Mets’ roster, had to leave his second rehab start for Class A St. Lucie after just one inning because of right elbow soreness, which is never a good sign for Tommy John surgery patients.
The right-hander had his first rehab start last week and reported no issues whatsoever after throwing four innings and hitting 97 miles per hour in the radar gun.
