Syndergaard (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Syndergaard began a rehab assignment in late August but was shut down after he tested positive for COVID-19. He's resumed facing hitters during the last week and will now resume his rehab assignment in Syracuse. The right-hander is slated to take on a bullpen role once he rejoins the major-league club; he is expected to require at least two rehab appearances before he's reinstated from the injured list, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
