Noah Syndergaard (finger) expected to start for Mets on Friday

New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard (finger) is scheduled to return to the rotation on Friday for a start against the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

If all goes well during a Wednesday bullpen session, Syndergaard will get the green light. The 25-year-old right-hander has been out since late May because of a strained ligament in his right index finger. Prior to going down, Syndergaard put together a 4-1 record in 11 starts while recording a 3.06 ERA with 76 strikeouts and 13 walks across 64 2/3 innings.

Syndergaard was averaging 37.1 FanDuel points per start. numberFire's models expect him to record a 4.17 ERA with 61 strikeouts and 14 walks over the rest of the year once active.
