Comes close to quality start Syndergaard (1-0) earned the win Saturday against the Astros after tossing 5.1 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and two walks while fanning one. He also hit a batter.
Impact The former Mets hurler was far from dominant on the mound and ended just two outs shy of recording a quality start, but he got the job done and was able to earn the win against one of the (on paper) strongest lineups in the American League. Synderggard posted a 1.04 ERA, 0.58 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB over 8.2 spring innings, and he will try to build off this nice debut performance when he takes on the Rangers next week.

Wraps up standout spring Syndergaard pitched five innings in an exhibition game against the Dodgers on Sunday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out seven.
Impact Syndergaard yielded a second-inning run but held the Dodgers scoreless in each of his other four frames. This was his longest outing of the spring, and his fastball averaged around 95 mph, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Over 8.2 spring innings, the right-hander posted a 1.04 ERA, 0.58 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB. His injury history certainly provides reason for concern, but Syndergaard could be a fantasy steal at his current ADP if he's able to stay healthy throughout the campaign.

Won't be held to innings limit The Angels aren't planning to have Syndergaard on a specific innings limit this season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Impact Syndergaard has pitched only two major-league regular-season innings since 2019, so there would be some logic in managing his workload. However, the organization appears comfortable with letting the right-hander enter the season without a set-in-stone innings target, which qualifies as good news for his fantasy managers. Of course, the Angels already soften their starting pitchers' workloads by employing a six-man rotation, so Syndergaard will have more rest days than he was accustomed to during his time with the Mets.

Excels in first spring start Syndergaard tossed 3.2 innings in a Cactus League win over Oakland on Monday, allowing an unearned run on one hit and one walk while striking out four.
Impact Making his first Cactus League appearance in an Angels uniform, Syndergaard breezed through the Athletics' lineup, allowing only an unearned first-inning run. He notched three of his final five outs via punchout before being pulled following a fourth-inning walk. Syndergaard has thrown only two major-league regular-season innings since 2019, but he could be a steal for the Angels -- and for fantasy managers -- this season if he's able to come anywhere close to the form he displayed early in his career with the Mets.
