Elbow soreness prompts exit Syndergaard (elbow) was removed from Tuesday's rehab start with Low-A St. Lucie for precautionary reasons due to right elbow soreness. Impact The right-hander lasted only one inning before being lifted and appeared to show decreased fastball velocity as he worked through the frame. The exit is considered precautionary, but that does little to quell concerns with Syndergaard on his way back from Tommy John surgery in March 2020. According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the Mets aren't overly concerned by the development, though 28-year-old will undergo a precautionary MRI as he's evaluated.
