As the Mets season sputters along without Noah Syndergaard at the top of the rotation, it's easy to wonder how different things would be if the ace known as Thor was healthy and dealing every fifth day.

But despite the way Syndergaard went down--with a lat injury, days after refusing an MRI on his bicep--it would be easy to assume that some regret would have snuck into the 24-year-old's mind as his rehabs for a comeback.

Yet during an appearance on WFAN's Boomer and Carton on Thursday, Syndergaard still didn't want to acknowledge a correlation between the lat injury that has shelved his season and the skipped MRI.

"No. No regrets from me, really," Syndergaard said. "I knew the biceps tendinitis that was flaring up--there was no structural damage. I was able to go out there through bullpens, play catch and start that game."

Syndergaard was asked if he second guesses his workout routine--which included adding major bulk during the offseason, something that many fans believe led to the injury.

"No. At the end end of the day I still feel really good," Syndergaard said. "I was able to leave my workouts feeling accomplished and feel like I was doing the right thing to stay healthy. It was just a series of unfortunate events, but I'm working hard to get back on the mound."

While the righty is feeling good, there's no timetable for a return to the Mets staff. In fact, Syndergaard doesn't even know when he can throw a baseball.

"I still won't be able to pick up a ball for quite some time," Syndergaard said "I want to make sure the lat is nice and stretched out."

The Mets head into play on June 8 with a 25-32 record. Syndergaard owned a 3.29 ERA before going down with the injury.
