The Mets could activate Matz (elbow) from the disabled list if he performs well during his rehab start with Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets were initially planning on having Matz make two rehab starts with Las Vegas before having him rejoin the big club in early June, but with the ongoing struggles of back-end rotation members Tommy Milone and Robert Gsellman have kept GM Sandy Alderson open to the idea of accelerating Matz's timetable. Matz, who has been sidelined since spring training with a left elbow issue, looked strong during his first rehab start at High-A St. Lucie on May 18, tossing three innings and giving up one run on two hits and two walks. He'll likely have his pitch count bumped up when he starts for Las Vegas on Tuesday.
