New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard left his second rehab start in the minors after one inning as a precautionary measure due to soreness in his right elbow, the team announced.
Pitching for Class A St. Lucie, Syndergaard was scheduled to pitch at least four innings as he returns from Tommy John surgery, but ended up leaving after 16 pitches. Syndergaard had pitched four scoreless innings in his first outing for St. Lucie, allowing one hit with five strikeouts while throwing 44 pitches, and the Mets were considering moving him up to Triple-A Syracuse after Tuesday's start.
