Matz (elbow) revealed Monday that the elbow injury he is dealing with has been diagnosed as a flexor tendon strain, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matz was placed on the 10-day disabled list Sunday with the elbow issue. The 25-year-old is expected to miss the first few weeks of the season, so Zack Wheeler and Robert Gsellman will round out the Mets' rotation to begin the year.
