Matz has thrown only 77 and 79 pitches his last two starts, as the Mets are intentionally limiting his innings and pitches, possibly to use him a starter later in the season, Mike Puma of the NY Post reports. Matz is clearly next in line to be called up now that Noah Syndergaard is in the rotation. If Jon Niese continues to struggle or Dillon Gee fails to pitch well when he is activated Tuesday, Matz may be promoted sooner rather than later.
