Mets Shut Down Noah Syndergaard, 'Pray' For 2021 Return

May 28, 2021 8:27 AM

Noah Syndergaard has been shut down for six weeks with right elbow inflammation.

"It's big. We were just counting on him being here a month from now," Luis Rojas said. "This happening is tough. ... We pray that he can pitch for us this year."

Rojas said there was no structural damage to Syndergaard's UCL.

On Tuesday, Syndergaard left his second rehab start following his recovery from Tommy John surgery after one inning (16 pitches) as a precautionary measure due to soreness in the elbow. He was scheduled to throw at least four innings for Class A St. Lucie.

Corey Kluber Out At Least 2 Months With Shoulder Injury

May 27, 2021 7:28 AM

The New York Yankees will be without Corey Kluber for at least two months because of a right shoulder injury.

Kluber was pulled after three innings Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. He tossed a no-hitter last week.

An MRI on his ailing shoulder revealed a subscapularis strain, which is expected to keep Kluber from throwing for at least four weeks, followed by at least four weeks of rehabilitation.

Aaron Boone said he doesn't believe the no-hitter caused Kluber's injury. Kluber called the whole situation "frustrating" Tuesday, saying he felt some tightness in the shoulder warming up, but it's unclear what caused the injury.

May 26, 2021 8:16 AM

The Philadelphia Phillies have placed Bryce Harper on the injured list with a bruised left forearm.

The move was made retroactive to Sunday.

Harper, who is in an 0-for-16 slump, was held out of the Phillies' lineup for the past two games.

The outfielder leads the team with a .489 slugging percentage, including 15 extra-base hits and seven home runs, but the slump has dropped his OPS to .884.

Corey Kluber Leaves Loss With Shoulder Tightness

May 26, 2021 8:13 AM

Corey Kluber left his start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night after just three innings with right shoulder tightness.

Kluber received a routine physical exam Tuesday night, and he will be further evaluated Wednesday.

"There is always concern when a starting pitcher comes out like that," Aaron Boone said. "His physical exam was pretty good tonight. Hopefully, we'll get some answers tomorrow, but it was just something he couldn't work through."

The New York Yankees right-hander was pitching on five days' rest after tossing a no-hitter last week at the Texas Rangers, said his arm felt "kind of heavy."

Mets Place Taijuan Walker On IL With Left Side Tightness

May 20, 2021 7:45 AM

The New York Mets have placed Taijuan Walker on the injured list with tightness in his left side.

Walker lasted just three innings in his start against the Atlanta Braves earlier this week.

On Tuesday, the Mets said Walker's MRI showed no structural problem. Luis Rojas said the Mets "want to see the mechanics" when Walker pitches. Rojas said Walker's difficulty may be related to his windup and delivery.
