CHICAGO -- Noah Syndergaard will attempt to make a comeback with the Chicago White Sox, who have signed the veteran right-hander to a minor league deal.
Syndergaard has reported to the team's spring complex in Glendale, Arizona. The 32-year-old last pitched in the majors in 2023, when he was cut by Cleveland. He went 2-6 with a 6.50 ERA in 18 combined starts for the Guardians and Los Angeles Dodgers that year.
Nicknamed "Thor" for his long blond hair and 6-foot-6 frame, Syndergaard debuted for the New York Mets in 2015 and won a World Series start that season. He was an All-Star in 2016, but injuries have sidetracked his career.
Mets waiting on pitching
NEW YORK -- New York Mets pitcher Sean Manaea complained of elbow discomfort following his most recent minor league rehab outing, and his return to New York's injury-depleted rotation will be delayed.
Manaea had an MRI on Monday that showed loose bodies in his left elbow. He received a cortisone shot and was shut down from throwing for two to three days.
New York's top starter last season, Manaea has been sidelined since spring training by a right oblique strain. After a gradual progression, the left-hander pitched well for 5• innings last Friday at Triple-A Syracuse and was expected to come off the 60-day injured list in early July after making one more rehab start this week. Instead, he won't pitch in the minors again until at least next week.
