Noah Syndergaard Says He Won't Throw for at Least 6 Weeks Due to Lat Injury

New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard told reporters Saturday that he won't throw for at least six more weeks after he suffered a partial lat muscle tear, according to SNY's Steve Gelbs.ย 

Theย New York Post's Joel Sherman previously reported conservative estimates pegged Syndergaard's timetable for recovery around three months. Marc Carig ofย Newsdayย confirmed that timetable after Syndergaard sought a second opinion fromย Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles.ย 

Syndergaard initially suffered the injury in a 23-5 loss to the Washington Nationals on April 30. Three days earlier, Syndergaard was scratched from a scheduled start with what was described as aย tired arm.ย 

The 24-year-old went 1-2 with a 3.29 ERA, 32 strikeouts and two walks before he was ruled out indefinitely.
