MLB.com, the official media of the major leagues, said on the 26th,Syndergaard who underwent Tommy John surgery last March,felt elbow pain in the rehabilitation with High Single A St. Lucie, and threw only one inning and lowered the mound.He said the same area as where he had the surgery.

Syndergaard which boasts a high-speed ball with a maximum speed of 160 km/h, is a starting pitcher with an average ERA of 3.31 with 119 games (716 innings) in 5 seasons in the major leagues.However, when the opening of the season was postponed due to Covid 19 last year, he decided to undergo Tommy John surgery.

Syndergaard who entered the final stage of rehabilitation after surgery, recorded 4 innings, 1 hit, and 5 strikeouts on the 20th.On this day,I was planning to increase the number of pitches and innings step by step while digesting 4 innings, but all plans were distorted as I felt elbow pain.

MLB.com said,According to officials at the time, the arrest from 97 miles (156 km) from the last pitch fell to the mid-80 miles,suggesting the possibility that Syndergaard's injury could be serious.

Although Ace Jacob DeGrom has returned from injuries, the news from Syndergaard is expected to come even more painful to the Mets, who still have many starting pitchers such as Carlos Carrasco and Taijuan Walker injured.
