Right-hander Noah Syndergaard and outfielder Yeonis Cespedes are likely to miss only a matter of days after injury scares Wednesday as the New York Mets completed a two-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals.
Syndergaard's availability for his next scheduled start Monday is in doubt but a clean MRI on his right elbow means he won't land on the disabled list. After the test Wednesday at the Hospital for Special Surgery, Syndergaard prescribed anti-inflammatory medication and has been cleared to do his normal work routine. The Mets moved his start back from Tuesday to Wednesday after Syndergaard threw 115 pitches in his previous outing.
