Matz (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander hasn't started since June 12 because he tested positive for COVID-19, and he'll rejoin the rotation after spending nearly three weeks on the shelf. Matz completed a 60-pitch live bullpen session Thursday and will be on an unspecified pitch count in his first start back.
