This article references A, C, Matt Harvey, OF, SP, SS, Stephen Strasburg, Steven Matz, TE and more! The plan for Matt Harvey is that the starting pitcher will stay under 200 innings for the rest of the regular season and potential postseason, according to USA Today. The New York Mets ace has pitched 166 1/3 innings so far. Harvey is 33 2/3 innings away from the limit with still a little less than a month left in the season with the Mets maintaining a five-game lead in the NL East. Goal now is to keep #Mets Harvey under 200 IP, including postseason, which could put him on pitch count in p[...]Keep on reading: Harvey Innings Limit At 200 For The Rest Of The Year

BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANAL:YSIS:It's likely Steven Matz is already scooped up in your league or was sitting in an owner's DL slot. If, for some reason, he's still out there you need to move fast. His ownership has already spiked 10% in the past 24 hours and I expect that number to grow rapidly. In case you forgot, Matz is another dominant rookie among the plethora of options at the Mets disposal. A lat injury had him out since late July b[...]Keep on reading: Steven Matz (NYM, SP) – Waiver Wire Pickups

If you learned one thing this week as a fantasy baseball manager, it was probably that bruises don't just hurt the players that they sideline. Hello and welcome again to the MLB player injury report.

This article references A, C, OF, SP, SS, Steven Matz, TE and more! Steven Matz threw on flat ground Monday for the first time since he injured his lat muscle almost four weeks ago, according to ESPN New York. The New York Mets starting pitcher had two brilliant starts in his rookie season, including an overwhelmingly impressive minor league portfolio, before landing on the DL. His timetable is still unknown and could be a while for his return because the Mets will likely take their time with the young right-hander. Steven Matz threw off flat ground today.[...]Keep on reading: Matz (Lat) Throws On Flat Ground For First Time Since Injury

The All Star break is done. The Game of Thrones season is over. True Detective has been borderline atrocious. And football season is still nearly a month away. There is literally nothing to hold anyone back from going all in on their fantasy baseball teams. It’s imperative for dynasty league owners at this time to figure out if they are 2015 contenders or playing for the future. Not to be outdone, it’s equally important for owners in Al-only and/or NL-only leagues to pay attention to any [...]Keep on reading: Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 15 Weekend

This article references 2B, 3B, A, Aaron Brooks, C, Joey Butler, Luis Valbuena, OF, SP, SS, Stephen Drew, Steven Matz, Taylor Motter, TE and more! For all fantasy owners of Steven Matz, we have been dealt some bad news. Yes, we, because I was someone who owned him as well. Matz will miss the next several weeks with a lat injury which will really put a damper on what has otherwise been a tremendous start to his Major League career. Matz has been productive both offensively (obviously only for the Mets and not fantasy owners) and on the mound. The loss is painful, but owners should not jump ship yet as Matz will jump right back into the rota[...]Keep on reading: Minor League Spotlight: Top Fantasy Prospects from Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 56% of Flealflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Okay folks - if Steven Matz is still available in your fantasy baseball league (that's 44% of you out there), stop what you are doing now and go pick him up off the waiver wire.

Steven Matz was finally called up. It was a little bit earlier than I had expected, but he made his MLB debut last Sunday. He threw quite well, but really dazzled with the bat, going 3-3 and driving n four runs. Did I ever mention that he can hit? Probably not. Matz finished the day going 7.2 innings, striking out six, and surrendering only two earned runs (each on solo homers). Don’t expect him to go back to Triple-A at any point this season.
