Syndergaard (elbow) will face hitters Wednesday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
Syndergaard threw his most recent bullpen session Monday and apparently felt good afterward since he's now slated to face hitters for the first time since he tested positive for COVID-19. The right-hander will likely return as a reliever to close out the 2021 campaign, so he's presumably close to rejoining to the major-league club.
