Syndergaard was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with a strained ligament in his right index finger.
This comes as a bit of a surprise, as the Mets' ace reported no issues following his quality outing against the Brewers on Friday. Syndergaard was apparently feeling some soreness in his finger following his between-starts bullpen session, however, and a subsequent MRI confirmed the injury to be serious enough to warrant a stay on the shelf. The move is retroactive to May 26, so the 25-year-old will be eligible to return June 5 if he's healthy enough to do so. It's unclear who will take Syndergaard's turn in the rotation at this point.
