Dodgers' Noah Syndergaard admits to being the "weakest link" and longs for his old self.
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Noah Syndergaard admitted to being the "weakest link" on the team after allowing five runs on seven hits, including three home runs, in a loss to the Nationals. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts would not confirm whether Syndergaard would make his next start, and the former All-Star acknowledged that his mechanical adjustments have not been effective. Syndergaard has allowed multiple runs in nine consecutive outings and has a 6.54 ERA this season. The Dodgers are also dealing with injuries to their starting rotation, which could provide some short-term security for Syndergaard.
