New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson may accelerate his search for pitching help after the team placed ace right-hander Noah Syndergaard on the 10-day disabled list Monday with a partial tear of his right lat muscle. The Mets said there is no timetable for Syndergaard's return, leaving Alderson to look for pitching help outside the organization. Mets left-hander Steven Matz missed two months with a similar lat injury in 2015. "The doctor has said there wasn't any connection, there isn't any connection, between what happened and a possible bicep injury," Alderson said. The Mets also are without slugger Yoenis Cespedes, who was placed on the disabled list Friday with a strained left hamstring.
