Matz is still ticketed to open 2015 in the minors, even with the loss of Zack Wheeler (torn UCL) for the season, ESPN New York reports. Dillon Gee will replace Wheeler in the rotation, which allows Matz to get some experience at Triple-A Las Vegas. In addition, if Matz is down just a few weeks, the Mets get one more year of control. If Matz is down until the summer, the Mets delay his arb clock by one year. Matz is expected to be up sometime this year, the only question is when.
