Noah Syndergaard Should Be Fine For Next Start
1 year agoCleveland Guardians right-hander Noah Syndergaard (calf) was pulled from his team debut in the sixth inning on Monday after he took a 101 mph ground ball off his right calf against the Houston Astros. Syndergaard was sore on Tuesday, but the Guardians are confident that he'll be fine to make his next start. Given that Thor hadn't pitched in the majors since June 7 due to a blister issue, mechanical hiccups and mental roadblocks, his debut for Cleveland this week went pretty well, injury aside. The 30-year-old gave up just a run on two hits while walking two and striking out none in 5 1/3 frames. However, he generated just whiffs on the 31 swings taken against him, and five of the 17 balls put in play against him had triple-digit exit velocities. Syndergaard will attempt to finish the season strong with his new team in 2023, but he'll most likely continue to be a risky streaming option in fantasy.
