Mets manager Luis Rojas said Thursday that right-hander Noah Syndergaard will not throw for six weeks after an MRI revealed right elbow inflammation. Syndergaard, who underwent Tommy John surgery last year, appeared to be a few weeks away from rejoining the Mets before he left his second rehab start with Class A St. Lucie on Tuesday after just one inning. In addition, ace Jacob deGrom returned Tuesday after missing a little more than two weeks with a right side injury. Rojas said he hasn’t "really thought about" the possibility of Syndergaard not pitching again for the Mets. "Right now, just being in the middle of the season, I’m looking forward to having everyone healthy at some point," Rojas said.
