Noah Syndergaard received a positive second opinion on his strained right lat muscle from Dr. Neal ElAttrache, according to a source.

Neither Syndergaard nor the New York Mets revealed specifics of ElAttrache's medical opinion.

The positive update indicates there is nothing worse than a simple muscle tear, which should sideline the right-hander for 2-3 months.

In five starts this season, Syndergaard is 1-2 with a 3.29 ERA, 32 strikeouts and two walks in 27 1/3 innings.
