However, one player on their roster is continuing to underperform: Noah Syndergaard. After a solid season in Philly, Syndergaard signed with LA in the offseason. The hope was that Syndergaard was going to be a solid rotational arm for a team that is playing without their young ace.</p><p>Unfortunately, Syndergaard has been <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-noah-syndergaard-addresses-continued-struggles-for-los-angeles" rel="noopener">playing terribly all season long</a>. He currently has one of the worst ERAs of any starting pitcher, holding an abysmal 6.27 ERA in 51 innings pitched. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts called this “not ideal”… but <a href="https://twitter.com/FabianArdaya/status/1662282515296534528" rel="noopener">didn’t completely shut the door</a> on Noah Syndergaard starting again, per Fabian Ardaya.</p><p>“”It’s certainly not ideal,” Dave Roberts said of Noah Syndergaard’s 6.27 ERA through 10 starts. Said the Dodgers don’t have an immediate internal option available right now – “I think right now, we’ve got to continue to run him out there and expect better results.””</p><p>The Dodgers’ pitching staff (their rotation, in particular) is dealing an outbreak of the injury bug. Walker Buehler is yet to return from his injury in 2022. Clayton Kershaw and Julio Urias both had stints in the injury list. As of right now, the only surefire starters for LA are Kershaw (who has just returned from injury) and Gavin Stone.</p><p>There are many players that could potentially take Noah Syndergaard’s spot in the rotation. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-bobby-miller-shines-light-will-smith-mlb-debut" rel="noopener">Bobby Miller’s hot start</a> against the loaded Atlanta squad proved that the Dodgers’ farm system can produce quality starters. However, it seems like front office wants to see this Syndergaard experiment through.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Syndergaard’s status was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-dave-robert-hopeful-noah-syndergaard-injury-return-gavin-stone" rel="noopener">previously in question</a> due to a cut on his finger. He <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/noah-syndergaard-pulled-after-just-one-inning-vs-brewers" rel="noopener">exited his most recent start early</a> after suffering the ailment, but Syndergaard is clearly ready to roll for Monday’s affair.</p><p>Syndergaard is in his first season with the Dodgers. His beginning to his Dodgers tenure hasn’t been ideal, pitching to the tune of a 6.12 ERA and 1.243 WHIP. Syndergaard has also struck out 21 hitters through 32.1 innings pitched to go along with five walks. He’s battled questions in regards to his velocity after stating he wanted to throw faster prior to the season. Although his velocity isn’t what it once was, the Dodgers are hoping to help him reinvent himself.</p><p>Noah Syndergaard still features enough talent to impact a ball club.

Dave Roberts believes in Syndergaard’s recovery, but he has also <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-gavin-lux-plays-catch-first-time-injury" rel="noopener">devised a Dodgers backup plan</a> just in case.</p><p>Roberts is ‘hopeful,’ that Syndergaard <a href="https://twitter.com/Jack_A_Harris/status/1657165652581548033" rel="noopener">will be able to</a> make his next scheduled start on Monday, via Jack Harris of the LA Times. If Syndergaard can’t go, Roberts confirmed that Gavin Stone is next in line to start.</p><p>Syndergaard left his start due to a blister that eventually turned into a large cut. He was able to throw with the cut covered on Friday. He’ll have to see how his finger responds after throwing with his wound. Assuming Syndergaard feels comfortable enough to pitch, Roberts is comfortable putting him on the mound for his next start.</p><p>While his injury is no fault of his own, Syndergaard’s debut with the Dodgers hasn’t exactly been what fans have been hoping for. Over his first seven starts, the right-hander has pitched to a 1-3 record with a 6.12 ERA and a 21/5 K/BB ratio.</p><p>If called upon, Los Angeles feels confident in Gavin Stone. While he has struggled in the majors, Stone holds an impressive 2.67 ERA and 337/85 K/BB ratio over his 56 minor league appearances.</p><p>Still, the Dodgers paid Noah Syndergaard $13 million to be mediocre. His injury was obviously a setback he couldn’t control. Dave Roberts is hopeful he can make a quick recovery and be back on the mound on time. Alongside just being healthy, Roberts is looking for Syndergaard to come back strong and become a force in the Dodgers’ rotation.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts later said an IL move is “<a href="https://twitter.com/billplunkettocr/status/1656139025827110913" rel="noopener">a possibility</a>,” per Bill Plunkett.</p><p>“But we want to give Noah and the training staff some time before we make that decision,” Roberts said.</p><p>Noah <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-la-skipping-noah-syndergaard-padres" rel="noopener">Syndergaard had his start skipped</a> over the weekend against the San Diego Padres amid his previous struggles.

He’s struck out 21 hitters and walked only five, but he’s surrendering runs nonetheless. Syndergaard signed with Los Angeles to try and get his career back on track. The Dodgers have a track record of helping veteran starting pitchers figure things out, such as Tyler Anderson and Andrew Heaney a season ago.</p><p>It goes without saying, but hope isn’t lost for Noah Syndergaard.

Stone debuted last week and although he didn’t look especially sharp, the Dodgers believe in his ability and ceiling. Los Angeles expects to know more on Syndergaard within the next couple of days. A final decision could be made before the Dodgers’ weekend series against the Padres.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
