NEW YORK (AP) — Noah Syndergaard’s return to the majors has hit another snag.
A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that the New York Mets right-hander has tested positive for COVID-19.
Syndergaard was scratched from a rehab start on Sunday. New York manager Luis Rojas said Syndergaard had a “non-baseball-related injury.” He did confirm that Syndergaard has been vaccinated.
Syndergaard is recovering from Tommy John surgery. The Mets are hoping he can rejoin the team as a reliever should they become relevant in the NL East race again.
