New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard received good news after seeking a second opinion regarding the lat injury he suffered during the team's 23-5 loss against the Washington Nationals on April 30.ย 

Per ESPN.com,ย Dr. Neal ElAttrache's second opinion wasย "all positive" for Syndergaard, revealing the right-hander only suffered a "simple muscle tear." There is still no official timeframe for his return from the disabled list.ย 

After Syndergaard's initial diagnosis,ย Joel Shermanย of theย New York Postย reported "conservative estimates" had him missing three months.ย The Metsย announcedย Syndergaard's injury as a partially torn right lat muscle.

Syndergaard has a 3.29 ERA with 32 strikeouts and two walks in five starts this season.ย
