Noah Syndergaard is looking to return to the New York Mets later this month and plans to feature a tweaked approach on the mound.

"I won't be working up to five or six innings or anything," Syndergaard said. "There's definitely not much time left for that. But I'm starting to get there, get out on the mound and looking to get some innings under my belt before the season ends."

Syndergaard has been sidelined since April 30 due to a partially torn lat muscle. He's looking to be more in control of his body going forward.

"I think I'll be mostly the same guy," he said. "I'd like to have a little more body control, as I don't necessarily have to be max effort every pitch. That way if I can work comfortably like 96 and pump it up to 100, 101 when I need to, then I think that's like adding an extra pitch to your repertoire."
