Mets prospect Noah Syndergaard was sent down to minor-league camp Friday, per ESPN, a somewhat surprising move considering he was scheduled to start Saturday against the Tigers. Syndergaard has a 4.91 ERA this spring. Last year, he went 9-7 with a 4.60 ERA in 26 starts at Triple-A Vegas.
Syndergaard took a pitch off the ankle during his start Monday, but apparently that was not the reason for the team's decision.
