Matz will have his start skipped Saturday due to elbow soreness, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matz's elbow reportedly flared up following Monday's start, so the Mets will take the cautious approach with the young left-hander. Matz hasn't undergone an MRI yet, but he will see a doctor in New York in the coming days and could get one then. Logan Verrett is temporarily slated to take his spot in the rotation unless he is forced to be used in relief before Saturday.
