Tests positive for COVID-19 Syndergaard (elbow) tested positive for COVID-19 and won't make his scheduled rehab appearance with High-A Brooklyn on Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Impact Syndergaard was poised to make his second rehab outing and cover one-plus innings, but his rehab program will instead be stalled following the positive test. The right-hander, who also turns 29 years old Sunday, likely won't be able to return from the injured list until at least mid-September since he'll still need more appearances after clearing the health and safety protocols.
