Noah word on possible ban

The Mets and Noah Syndergaard hadn’t heard from Major League Baseball on Sunday about any further punishment stemming from the right-hander’s ejection Saturday night, when he threw a third-inning pitch behind Dodgers second baseman Chase Utley.

And if that doesn’t change and he avoids a suspension for a pitch he said simply got away from him, the team will try to make the most of the situation by “possibly” using him out of the bullpen on Tuesday against the White Sox if necessary, according to manager Terry Collins.

Syndergaard’s 99-mph fastball to Utley was just his 34th pitch of the game on Saturday and since Collins said the Mets intend to keep him on regular rest and start him again on Friday, he could take the mound sooner.

Syndergaard seemed to be on board with that possibility.

Prior to Sunday night’s game at Citi Field, he tweeted: “I’m fresh. Can be available from [the] pen. Just saying.”

Whenever he gets back out there, the Mets hope it’s less eventful than Saturday’s outing. Both Syndergaard and Collins were tossed by home-plate umpire Adam Hamari despite Syndergaard not actually hitting Utley or any warning being issued.

Utley remained in the game and blasted two hom- ers — including a grand slam — to lead the Dodgers to a lopsided win.

That performance just added to Utley’s history against the Mets, whom he has consistently tormented but even more so recently.

In addition to leaving Ruben Tejada with a fractured leg in last year’s NLDS with a since-banned slide, Utley entered Sunday with the second most hits, doubles and homers of any active player against the Mets.
