Noah Snydergaard struggled in his appearance for the Mets on Monday, giving up two runs in 2.2 innings. The performance was more frustrating, considering his appearances with the big club may be numbered.
Snydergaard lost out to Dillon Gee in the battle to replace Zack Wheeler in the starting rotation, and, while he shows promise, the Mets think he's not quite ready for the Major Leagues.
"They've got to pitch their way up," manager Terry Collins told MLB.com's Anthony DiComo. "We like Noah a lot. I like him a lot. He's going to be a real good pitcher, I'll tell you. There's going to be a time where you're going to look up and we're going to have a lot of real hard-throwing guys in the middle of that rotation. … There'll be some discussions we'll have with Noah about what we think he's got to do."
