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.

In the meantime, he and the Mets keep winning. Wheeler beat the first-place Atlanta Braves for the second time in seven major league starts, and John Buck drove in three runs for New York in a 7-4 victory Thursday. Although he had trouble throwing consistent strikes again, Wheeler (4-1) fought through a difficult first inning that included three strikeouts with runners in scoring position. Since the day he was called up from the minors, the Mets (45-53) are 20-13. "Im starting to feel a little bit more comfortable with my mechanics. Ive just got to trust my stuff and go after guys," Wheeler said. "Ive just got to get ahead and start setting guys up. Its a lot easier when you do that." Daniel Murphy and Marlon Byrd had three hits apiece to help the Mets gain a four-game series split. But the news wasnt all good: Eric Young Jr., a spark in the leadoff spot since arriving last month, was pulled with pain in his right knee. Mets manager Terry Collins called it a strain, but Young didnt sound too worried. He said precautionary X-rays were negative and he hopes to play in Fridays day-night doubleheader at Washington. "Just playing it safe," said Young, obtained on the same day Wheeler made his debut. "We didnt want to try to push it." One day after top pitcher Tim Hudson sustained a season-ending ankle injury when Young accidentally stepped on him, the NL East-leading Braves caught another tough break. This time, it was a missed call by the umpires that helped the Mets score three times in the sixth and led to the ejection of Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez. Wheeler squandered a three-run lead by giving up homers to Dan Uggla and Freddie Freeman. But the prized rookie allowed only four hits in six innings after throwing 31 pitches in the first. He tossed six shutout innings in Atlanta to win his big league debut June 18. "Hes a work in progress. But Ill tell you one thing, everybodys right: The skys the limit with him. Hes got plus stuff. Hes tougher than people give him credit for. Hes going to be fine, but hes got to make some adjustments," Collins said. "I was very happy with the way he battled back and kept us in the game." Opponents are batting .114 (4 for 35) against Wheeler with runners in scoring position and .162 (11 for 68) with men on base. David Aardsma and LaTroy Hawkins each worked a hitless inning before Bobby Parnell closed for his 20th save in 24 tries. Freemans long homer to centre leading off the sixth tied it at 4, but Wheeler ended the inning with a double-play grounder and New York went right back ahead iin the bottom half.dddddddddddd. Andrew Brown, who replaced Young in left field, opened with a double against reliever Kameron Loe (0-1) and went to third on a wild pitch. Murphy singled through a drawn-in infield to give the Mets the lead. "Guys are swinging the sticks like crazy right now. Its fun," Wheeler said. David Wright followed with a drive to left-centre that bounced up and hit the protective railing above the wall before caroming back onto the field. Center fielder Reed Johnson raised his arms, looking for the ground-rule double signal, but third base umpire Chad Fairchild ruled the ball in play. Murphy scored and Wright pulled into third with an RBI triple before Gonzalez came out to argue. He took his protest to plate umpire and crew chief Jeff Kellogg before Fairchild finally tossed him. Gonzalez headed toward the dugout, but then went back at Fairchild, now standing behind third base again. "I dont think I needed a replay to know I was right," Gonzalez said. Kellogg declined comment after the game, saying the umps had to catch a flight. Buck added a run-scoring double with two outs to make it 7-4. Young beat out an infield single to start a four-run third and scored on Byrds single. Buck hit a two-run single with two outs to put the Mets up 4-1. Acquired from Colorado in a trade, Young was very upset Wednesday night after breaking Hudsons right ankle when he inadvertently stepped on the pitcher at first base. Hudson, the leader of Atlantas strong pitching staff, will have season-ending surgery once the swelling subsides. Collins said Young "tweaked" his leg on the play, and one day later the speedy outfielder was removed in the fourth inning. Uggla trimmed it to 4-3 with a two-run shot off Wheeler in the fourth. It was Ugglas second homer in two days and 11th at Citi Field, the most by a visiting player. Wheeler threw a fastball over Ugglas head in the first, and the Atlanta second baseman glared out at the mound before saying something to Buck. "I told him, Look, you can be mad at him because he doesnt know where its going, but trust me, its not intentional," Buck said. "He said, OK, thank you."
