Mets pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard was forced to leave his start at Triple-A Las Vegas Thursday, after a collision at the plate that left him with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder.
Syndergaard was attempting to cover home plate after a wild pitch, when a baserunner ran into him. He was pulled after just two outs in the first inning, and went in for what the team said was a "precautionary X-ray" shortly after, according to ESPN.com.
This was bad luck for Syndergaard, who was making his first start since suffering a flexor tendon strain May 21.
