LEADING OFF: Syndergaard has setback, Kluber to get MRI

Noah Syndergaard was pulled from his minor league rehabilitation outing because of soreness in his pitching elbow Tuesday night, the latest setback for a New York Mets team ravaged by injuries. The hard-throwing right-hander is coming back from Tommy John surgery on March 26 last year. He lasted only one inning in his second start with Class A St. Lucie. The Mets said Syndergaard was removed as a precaution. New York has 16 players on the injured list, most in the majors. Meanwhile, the Yankees are sending Corey Kluber for an MRI after he left a start Tuesday with right shoulder soreness.
