Noah Syndergaard took the mound for the New York Mets on Tuesday, his first Major League start in two years in a delayed comeback from Tommy John surgery.

The right-hander topped out at 96 mph and struck out his first two batters in a perfect inning, throwing nine of 10 pitches for strikes. He was removed after the first inning.

"I felt great," Syndergaard said. "It was amazing to get back out there."

The Mets also announced that Jacob deGrom won't pitch again this season. The two-time Cy Young Award winner has been sidelined since mid-July because of an elbow injury that has healed.
