Syndergaard (lat) is scheduled to throw off a mound Tuesday for the first time since landing on the disabled list, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Syndergaard remains without a timetable for his return as he continues to slowly make his was back from a lat injury that has kept him sidelined since the beginning of May. He has been able to throw off flat ground with no issues recently, clearing the way for him to return to a mound. This is a big step in his recovery, and barring any setbacks, he should be cleared to head out on a rehab assignment in the near future. While Thor has been progressing well in his rehab, the Mets aren't expected to rush him back, as they've clearly turned their focus towards 2018.
