.New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen said the trade to acquire second baseman Robinson Cano and closer Edwin Diaz makes it less likely that they will trade starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard, because the "chips are in" to win now. Thor does have injury concerns, but he's one of the more dominant right-handed pitchers in baseball when he's healthy. It will take a big package for another team to pry him away at this point. Syndergaard was 13-4 with a 3.03 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and career-low 9.0 K/9 over 25 starts in 2018.

.The San Diego Padres and Cincinnati Reds are among the teams that are interested in trading for New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard. The Rays are also a team to watch out for, as they have a deep farm system and want young, controllable players. Thor has three years until he'll become a free agent but is not on a team-friendly contract. The hard-throwing right-hander has made only 32 starts over the last two seasons due to various injuries. The New York Post's Joel Sherman puts the chances of Syndergaard being traded this winter at 45 percent. Thor is one of the most dominant hurlers when healthy, but health is the biggest question surrounding him. He's a risk/reward early-round pick as a high-end fantasy starter.

.New York Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard should be able to end his 2018 on a high note on Sunday in a matchup against the Miami Marlins. Syndergaard has pitched well against Miami this season, posting a 2-0 record with a 2.77 ERA in two starts. It is likely that the Marlins won't have the most potent lineup on Sunday in what will be the final game of their disappointing 2018 campaign. Fire up Syndergaard in your lineups as a sure-fire top option.

.New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (illness) was sick during his outing against the Braves on Tuesday, but he still threw six innings of shutout baseball regardless. Thor gave up just three hits while walking two and fanning five to drop his ERA to 3.22 on the season He has a solid 9.23 K/9 as well over 145 1/3 innings and 24 starts. When healthy, Syndergaard has always been a high-end fantasy talent for the Mets, and it's almost a miracle he has 12 wins for a bad Mets team this year.

.New York Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard stifled the Atlanta Braves offense on Tuesday night. Syndergaard threw six innings of shutout ball, allowing just three hits to go along with five strikeouts. Although he's been a clear-cut second starter behind Jacob deGrom, the righty has had an effective season with the Mets. His ERA sits at 3.22 on the year and he has been a steady force in the rotation. It hasn't been the monster season that most projected for Syndergaard, but he is picking up some momentum and should be treated as an ace heading into the 2019 fantasy season.

Syndergaard fired six scoreless innings Tuesday in a no-decision against the Braves, allowing three hits and two walks with five strikeouts.

Syndergaard will make his next start Tuesday against the Braves and is expected to take the hill for the Mets' final game of the season Sept. 30 against the Marlins.

New York Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard surrendered four runs on nine hits in six innings against the Chicago Cubs on Monday night. He struck out six.

The San Diego Padres have checked in on New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard in their search for a front-line starter, according to sources. Syndergaard is currently on the disabled list with a viral infection, but he's only expected to miss one start. The Padres are likely just doing their due diligence, but they have the farm system to pull off a trade of this magnitude, and Thor remains under control for the next several years and could lead this pitching staff into the future. Still, the Padres would likely have to overpay to pry him away from the Mets.

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (illness) landed back on the disabled list Sunday due to hand, foot and mouth disease -- a viral infection common in children. The team thinks Syndergaard contracted the illness while working a youth camp during the All-Star break. Assistant general manager John Ricco said there is a chance that Thor misses just one start. He's expected to be out only seven to 10 days. Corey Oswalt will be recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to take Syndergaard's rotation spot. Oswalt is scheduled to start on Wednesday against the Padres, and he'll make for a sleeper streamer in that one. Syndergaard's velocity dipped during his start on Friday and he complained of feeling a "dead arm" after the game. He had recently returned from a long absence due to a strain of his right index finger, so this is surely disappointing for his fantasy owners. But at least he's not expected to miss much time. Since coming off the DL before, he was 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA.

New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard is expected to be activated from the disabled list and start against the Washington Nationals on Friday. Syndergaard has been on the DL since May with a finger injury. On the season, Syndergaard has pitched to 4-1 record with a 3.06 ERA and a 76/13 K/BB ratio. Normally facing a team like the Nats after a long stint on the DL is a tough task. But Syndergaard is no normal pitcher. He should be all systems go and should be fired up in season-long and daily leagues.

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (finger) continues to inch closer to a return to the big leagues, and the next step in his recovery will be a rehab start for the Low-A Brooklyn Cyclones on Sunday. Dealing with a strained ligament in his right index finger, Thor has been on the shelf since May 26. He threw 50 pitches in a simulated game on Tuesday and evidently feels well enough to kick things up a notch this weekend. Assuming the rehab start goes well, one would assume Syndergaard could return to the rotation at some point late next week. With the Mets, though, nothing is ever a given.

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (finger) threw 50 pitches in a simulated game on Tuesday at the team's spring training complex in Florida. Assuming Thor emerged unscathed, he'll likely up his efforts to a minor league rehab game in a few days. After that, one would assume the next step would be returning to the big league rotation, potentially about 10 days away from now. Originally only supposed to miss a couple of starts due to a strained ligament in his right index finger, Syndergaard instead has missed well over a month now after hitting the disabled list on May 26. He was having a very good, if not a bit underwhelming season, before going down with a 3.06 ERA and 76:13 K:BB across 64 2/3 innings pitched.
