Syndergaard: 'No regrets' about not having MRI

Noah Syndergaard, who hasn't pitched for the New York Mets since April 30 due to a torn right lat muscle, said Thursday he does not regret refusing to have an MRI in the days before suffering the injury.

"No, no regrets for me really," Syndergaard said in an interview with the "Boomer & Carton" show on WFAN Radio. "There was nothing structurally wrong. I was able to go out there and play catch and throw all those bullpens. I felt great, ready to (start) that Sunday. But something happened."

The right-hander was scratched from an April 27 start against the Atlanta Braves with what the Mets said was biceps and shoulder discomfort.
