Report: Syndergaard won't face added discipline for Utley incident

Noah Syndergaard looks to be in the clear one day after being ejected for throwing a 99-mph fastball behind Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Chase Utley.

Major League Baseball officials appear to be satisfied with the ejection, and no other punishment will be enforced, reports ESPN's Adam Rubin.

The 23-year-old New York Mets right-hander was removed from Saturday's game in the third inning after throwing behind Utley, whose unpopular reputation in the Big Apple stems from a hard take-out slide that broke Ruben Tejada's leg during the 2015 postseason.

Home plate umpire Adam Hamari immediately ejected Syndergaard after the pitch, which caused Mets manager Terry Collins to flip his lid and eventually receive an ejection of his own.

Crew chief Tom Hallion later explained the situation to reporters.

"The ruling was that he intentionally threw at the batter, and with that, we have a judgement of whether we thought it was intentional, and if it was, we can either warn or eject," Hallion said. "And with what happened in that situation, we felt the ejection was warranted ... because the pitch was thrown behind Utley."

Prior to the pitch, Syndergaard had shown pin-point control, walking just nine hitters in more than 60 innings of work.
