After the game, Wally Backman spoke with Todd Dewey of the Las Vegas Review-Journal and gave his opinion on Syndergaard’s decision-making on the play.
“He was fighting to save a run, but you don’t want your pitchers diving into home plate like that because stuff like that can happen,” says Backman.
Mets said in a statement on Thursday night, that the results of precautionary X-rays are pending.
More to come as details become available.

Noah Syndergaard who was returning to the Vegas rotation after spending some time on the 15-day DL with a mild elbow strain, was removed from Thursdays game with a an apparent collarbone and non-pitching shoulder injury.
Syndergaard, while covering home plate on a wild pitch, suffered the injury when he tumbled over the baserunner, falling hard to the ground.
After the play, he threw two warm-up pitches and grabbed his left shoulder/collarbone area, while grimacing in pain. He was then removed from the game.
He lasted just 2/3 of an inning while allowing three hits on three runs.
More to some as tests results will not be available until some time on Friday.
