Matz (shoulder) is being considered to start Sunday's game against the Twins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets vacated Rafael Montero's spot in the rotation after another rough outing, and Matz's return timetable could line up with that next scheduled start. It's unclear how far into the game manager Terry Collins would let the left-hander would pitch if he was selected, although there has been speculation that he could piggyback the start with Jacob deGrom (forearm). The Mets could also opt to start Noah Syndergaard on normal rest for that contest, but this convoluted situation should become clearer as the weekend approaches.
