Syndergaard left Friday's game against the Nationals in the fifth inning with the team trainer, Chase Hughes of CSNMA reports.
Syndergaard's fastball velocity was dipping into the low 90s in the fifth inning -- markedly lower than his usual 98-99 mph -- and he ultimately left with the team trainer. He was replaced on the mound by Seth Lugo. Details concerning the reason for his early departure are likely forthcoming.
