Syndergaard was named as the Mets' starter for their Opening Day matchup with the Braves, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Given the fact that he's the only stud pitcher in New York's staff that hasn't undergone surgery in the past year, this move comes as no surprise. Syndergaard seems to be in line to be the Mets' ace again this year and will look to build upon his stellar 2016 campaign, when he garnered 14 wins and a minuscule 2.60 ERA.
