Mets pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard experienced some forearm tightness during spring training, one of the reasons why the team did not put him on the major league roster to start the season, per MLB.com.
Syndergaard was viewed as a potential replacement for injured starter Zack Wheeler, but the team sent Syndergaard down to their Triple-A camp on March 20. Last year, he went 9-7 with a 4.60 ERA in 26 starts at Triple-A Vegas.
