Syndergaard is battling strep throat and won't make his scheduled start Saturday, James Wagner of the New York Times reports.
Sean Gilmartin will make the start Saturday, and it remains to be seen when Syndergaard will be healthy enough to jump back into the rotation. This is awful timing for the Mets, who are competing for a wild-card spot, and for Syndergaard's fantasy owners, many of whom are undoubtedly competing for league titles. The Mets will obviously hope to slot Syndergaard in Monday or Tuesday in order to still use him twice before the end of the season. His status will be updated when a return date comes into focus, but it seems safe to assume he won't start this weekend.
