NOTES

METS: New York placed ace right-hander Noah Syndergaard on the 10-day disabled list after a MRI revealed a partial tear of his right lat muscle.

BLUE JAYS: Toronto put right-hander Aaron Sanchez back on the 10-day disabled list, this time because of a split fingernail.

TIGERS: Manager Brad Ausmus said he expects Miguel Cabrera to come off the disabled list on Tuesday to face Cleveland.

DODGERS: Los Angeles placed left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu on the 10-day disabled list with a bruised left hip, one day after he won his first big league game in three seasons.
