ATLANTA (AP) New York Mets slugger Yoenis Cespedes should miss no more than a couple of games and pitcher Noah Syndergaard is expected to make his next start.

A day after both players were hurt in a win over Kansas City, the Mets said Thursday that neither injury was significant.

Cespedes, who's third in the NL with 18 homers, was not in the lineup Thursday at Atlanta after having a cortisone shot in his left wrist. He's been bothered by the pain over the last week, but didn't tell manager Terry Collins until Wednesday.

Syndergaard, who ranks sixth in the NL in both ERA and strikeouts, was prescribed anti-inflammatory medication for his right elbow. An MRI showed nothing wrong with the structure of his elbow.
