Syndergaard (lat) allowed three runs on three hits over two innings in a rehab start for short-season Brooklyn on Thursday, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.
The results weren't great, but Syndergaard built up to 36 pitches -- doubling his pitch count from his first rehab outing -- with no reported issues. Chances are, the Mets will wait and see how Syndergaard responds in the coming days before announcing the next step. He would seem to stand a chance to return for a start or two this season, but the team has not said definitively that it will deploy Syndergaard in the rotation late in the year.
