Syndergaard (finger) tossed a 50-pitch simulated game in Port St. Lucie on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Syndergaard's next step will likely be a rehab assignment, which could potentially happen this weekend if his finger feels healthy Wednesday morning. If he's not cleared to head down to the minors -- or activated outright -- in the coming days, don't expect to see him back with the Mets until after the All-Star break.
