Noah Syndergaard Leaves Game Due To Hamstring Strain
By Mark Polishuk | June 15, 2019 at 9:37pm CDT
Mets ace Noah Syndergaard left tonight’s start due to a right hamstring
strain, the team announced. The injury took place during the seventh
inning, as Syndergaard came up limping after a play that saw the
Cardinals’ Yairo Munoz steal second base. The right-hander was
immediately removed from the game after a visit from the trainer. An IL
stint seems likely, since the description of the injury as a strain (as
noted by Newsday’s Tim Healey) indicates a certain amount of severity.
Syndergaard hasn’t quite pitched up to his usual ace-like levels in
2019, with only a 4.45 ERA over 95 innings for New York. ERA indicators
(3.56 FIP, 3.95 xFIP, 3.96 SIERA) are a bit more impressed by his
performance, though overall, Syndergaard’s K/9, home run rate,
swinging-strike rate, and hard-hit ball rate have all gone in the wrong
direction from his 2018 numbers. That said, most of Syndergaard’s
problems took place during a rough April, and he has since largely
gotten on track over his last nine outings.
