Noah Syndergaard left the game after one inning because of bleeding finger as the bullpen stepped up during the Dodgers' 6-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.
’s pitching hand looked more like a divot, so large was the chunk of flesh missing from the fingertip of the right-hander on Tuesday night.
This was a highly anticipated start for Syndergaard, who was skipped in the rotation last week and given eight days to work on some of the mechanical and mental issues that plagued him in April, when he went 1-3 with a 6.32 earned-run average, the 10th worst among pitchers with at least 30 innings. After completing his warm-up pitches before the bottom of the first, Syndergaard walked back to the dugout, his finger bleeding badly. Trainers stemmed the bleeding enough for Syndergaard to start the game, but the sealant didn’t dry fast enough.
Syndergaard downplayed the issue, describing it as “nothing out of the ordinary,” and said he didn’t think he’d have to go on the injured list. Like with Hill, the Dodgers will have to decide whether to let Syndergaard keep pitching or to shut him down for a few weeks and give the finger time to heal.
