New York Mets shut down Noah Syndergaard for six weeks with elbow inflammation

His velocity, normally in the mid-to-high 90s, was clocked in the mid-80s by the end of his stint Tuesday.

Syndergaard had pitched four scoreless innings in his first outing for St. Lucie, allowing one hit with five strikeouts while throwing 44 pitches.

Mets acting general manager Zack Scott had said Monday that Syndergaard was on track for a mid-June return to the major league rotation.

There was time that this topic would have probably had dozens if not hundreds of posts by now.

Who knows if Thor will ever pitch again for the Mets.

Are they sure it’s not elbow immolation?

Other contributing factors are obvious, but not for nothing was the description "a slowly withering baseball forum" employed just a couple of hours ago in the COVID-19 thread.

What's there to say? It sucks that he won't be back this summer -- and if I had to bet, probably not this season. The Mets have been winning games behind relatively strong pitching and a AAA lineup that occasionally scores a few runs. But they can't keep doing that forever (deGrom, Stroman, and Walker will not finish the season with ERAs of 0.80, 2.47 and 1.84, respectively) so we need to get some guys back from the IL and hitting well. Thor would have been gravy on top of that. The only positive is that the rest of the division also looks fairly weak right now.

My offer to join someone in buying and reviving BBTF still stands. Other person needs to do the computer stuff.

So you're telling he threw multiple fastballs in the 84-86 range and somebody thought he needed to finish the inning?
