NEW YORK – Almost two years to the day after making his last Major League appearance, Noah Syndergaard will return to the mound on Tuesday against the Marlins.
Syndergaard will start Game 2 of the Mets’ doubles program against the Marlins at Citi Field, the team announced. This will be his first appearance since September 29, 2019. Six months later, Syndergaard underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, knocking him out for the entire 2020 campaign and – due to various delays – most of this summer.
Syndergaard is not expected to go deeper into the game, as he only pitched single innings on a Minor League rehab mission. He also plans not to throw broken balls in an attempt to ease the pressure on his elbow.
Since joining the Majors in 2015, Syndergaard is 47-30 with a 3.31 ERA. He can become a free agent after the season.
