Syndergaard (finger) will have his second start of the season pushed back from Saturday to Sunday against the Marlins, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.
Syndergaard was forced to leave his Opening Day start Monday against the Braves after six innings due to a blister on his middle finger. He was rolling prior to his departure, conceding no runs on five hits while striking out seven batters. The Mets don't seem to view Syndergaard's blister as a major concern, so he'll just be given an extra day of rest. Robert Gsellman is expected to move up a day to pitch in Syndergaard's place Saturday.
