There is no such thing as rock bottom for the Mets.
Noah Syndergaard will go on the 10-day disabled list with hand, foot and mouth disease, John Ricco announced Sunday before the start of the final game of the Subway Series. The disease is actually a viral infection characterized by sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet.
Syndergaard pitched Friday during the Mets' 7-5 win over the Yankees, but he showed diminished velocity with what was described as a dead arm.
Ricco said Syndergaard likely contracted the illness, common among children, while working at a youth camp during the week.
The Mets face the Yankees at 8 p.m. on Sunday.
