NEW YORK -- So much for the New York Mets lining up Noah Syndergaard for the National League wild-card game on Oct. 5.Syndergaards scheduled start on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies has been shelved because the ace is suffering from strep throat.Left-hander Sean Gilmartin instead will make a spot start for the Mets.Manager Terry Collins said the hope is that Syndergaard can return Monday or Tuesday in Miami and not miss a full rotation turn. That would allow Syndergaard to still make two more regular-season starts.However, Syndergaard no longer would be lined up for the wild-card game.With the Mets, San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals all bunched within a game in the standings, Collins noted the Mets may no longer have the luxury of lining up a pitcher for the wild-card game.Right now, in our situation, we cant worry about Oct. 5, Collins said.Collins added that the Mets could skip Bartolo Colon or Syndergaard the final weekend of the regular season at Philadelphia and use one of those pitchers in the wild-card game if the Mets are fortunate to clinch early.The Mets originally had eyed Syndergaard pitching on Saturday and Sept. 30 and then in the wild-card game and Colon pitching the regular-season finale and then Games 1 and 5 of an NLDS.Although not overly serious, Syndergaards brief unavailability is the latest blow to a depleted rotation.The Mets had hoped left-hander Steven Matz would pitch on Friday for the first time since Aug. 14. But Matz experienced renewed shoulder discomfort after throwing a bullpen session Wednesday and was scratched. Rookie Gabriel Ynoa will plug the rotation void for Matz.Meanwhile, right-hander Jacob deGrom underwent season-ending surgery Wednesday to relocate the ulnar nerve in his pitching elbow. Matt Harvey underwent season-ending surgery in July to remove a rib and alleviate thoracic outlet syndrome, and Zack Wheeler has been shut down until next season because of complications in his rehab from Tommy John surgery.The Mets already are relying on rookies Seth Lugo and Robert Gsellman in the rotation. Both likely would start games should the Mets reach a division series against the Chicago Cubs.Gilmartin will become the 12th starting pitcher used by the Mets this season. He has thrown no more than 18 pitches in any appearance since rejoining the Mets in late August from Triple-A Las Vegas, so his ability to pitch deep into a game will be an issue.As long as Im out there and throwing pitches that are getting people out, I think Im able to go out as long as they need me to go, Gilmartin said.

Garcia failed to make weight for his Saturday night fight against former title-holder Juan Manuel Lopez. The fight will go on, with Lopez regaining the title if he wins. The title will be vacant if Garcia wins. The bouts promoter, Top Rank, tweeted the development Friday. A message left at Top Ranks office was not immediately returned. Garcia weighed in at 128 pounds, 2 over the featherweight limit. Lopez weighed in at 125 1/2. Garcia had won the title from Orlando Salido on a unanimous decision in New York in January. He is 31-0 with 26 knockouts. The only two losses of Lopezs career came to Salido. The first one cost him the WBO belt, and the second led to a one-year suspension by Puerto Rican boxing officials when he accused the referee who stopped the fight of betting on the match. Lopez, who is known as Juanma, has said several times the fight with Garcia is the biggest of the Puerto Ricans career. "It is a very important fight and one that I had to take at this point in my career," Lopez, who is 33-2 with 30 knockouts, said through an interpreter in a conferennce call.dddddddddddd "I know this fight can get me back to where I want to be." Lopez showed a little gamesmanship by essentially trying to take credit for Garcias win over Salido. Lopez said Salido was "beat up by me," and that the Mexican fighter "wasnt as fresh when he fought Mikey as when he was fighting me." Not surprisingly, the California-born Garcia had a different view of his win in a fight that was stopped after the eighth round when an accidental head butt by Salido broke Garcias nose. Garcia was dominating the fight. "I thought I fought a really good Orlando Salido," Garcia said. "I never let him get into his fight. I knew what I needed to do against him and I think that was the difference. I was able to control the fight." Lopez has won twice since his one-year ban ended, beating Aldimar Silva Santos in February and knocking out Eugenio Lopez in an undercard bout in Mexico City in April. "I think those two fights I had were very important because after the long layoff I was able to get in the gym, get on my diet, get a rhythm of training and fighting," Lopez said. ' ' '
