Matz will test his injured forearm in a bullpen session Saturday to determine whether or not he'll be able to make his next scheduled start Thursday against Washington, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matz is battling a nerve issue in his left forearm which has sent him to the injured list, causing him to miss at least one start. The Mets should have a clearer idea of how many more starts (if any) he'll need to miss once they see how the injury responds to Saturday's bullpen session.

Matz (forearm) is expected to rejoin the rotation May 16 against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matz was placed on the injured list Thursday with a nerve issue in his left forearm, though his stay on the shelf isn't expected to last much longer than the 10-day minimum. Barring any setbacks, the southpaw should be ready to rejoin the rotation after missing just one turn. With an off day Monday, the Mets figure to shift their rotation up a day to accommodate Matz's slightly later-than-expected return.

Matz (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Matz is dealing with a nerve issue in his left forearm. The move is retroactive to May 5, so Matz will be eligible to return as early as next Wednesday, should he prove ready. With an off day on Monday, the Mets won't need a fifth starter until May 18, at which point Matz may be ready to come off the injured list. Dominic Smith was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.

Manager Mickey Callaway said the Mets are waiting to see if Matz (forearm) can start Tuesday against the Nationals, Matt Ehalt of Yahoo Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matz is currently nursing a nerve issue in his left forearm, but the Mets are hoping he'll be ready to rejoin the rotation after missing just one turn through. Should Matz ultimately not prove ready to start Tuesday, the Mets could choose to send him to the IL for a week (with the move eligible to be backdated three days).

Matz received a cortisone injection in his left forearm and won't make his scheduled start Wednesday against the Padres, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets haven't placed Matz on the 10-day injured list just yet, but a move could come Tuesday, depending on how he feels. The lefty didn't travel with the team to San Diego, so Wilmer Font could be in line for a spot start Wednesday.

Matz underwent tests on his forearm Monday which confirmed that he's dealing with a nerve issue and has no structural damage on his elbow, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matz avoided the worst-case scenario and won't be out for particularly long. He's expected to miss one start but not much more than that, and the Mets have yet to decide whether or not to place him on the injured list.

Matz will travel back to New York to have a nerve issue in his left forearm examined, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matz turned in a solid performance in his last start Friday against the Brewers, but he evidently didn't feel quite right and will head back to New York to get checked out by the team doctors. His next outing is slated for Wednesday in San Diego, although there's a good chance he'll remain in New York if the medical staff is at all concerned about his health.

Matz (3-2) took the loss against the Brewers on Friday, giving up three runs on nine hits over 5.2 innings. He struck out three and walked one.
EDGE Analysis
Matz emerged with a decent final line, missing a quality start by one out, but he only received one run of support and was ultimately outdueled by Brandon Woodruff and given his second loss of the season. The left-hander is off to a decent start aside from a six-run blowup against the Phillies on April 16, as he's now the owner of a 3.86 ERA, a 1.20 WHIP and a 32:9 K:BB through 35 innings.

Matz (3-1) secured the win after allowing two runs on five hits and striking out four over seven innings Sunday against Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Matz cruised through the first six innings before surrendering a two-run blast by Mike Moustakas, his only blemish of the game. Matz has been rock solid in each of his past two outings, giving up three runs over 13 innings while striking out 10. He'll look to carry this momentum into his next start, which lines up for Friday, also against the Brewers.

Matz (2-1) yielded one run on three hits and two walks while earning the win over Philadelphia on Monday. He fanned six batters.
EDGE Analysis
It was a promising start after his disastrous outing last time he faced the Phillies, allowing eight runs without recording an out. Matz allowed a solo shot to Rhys Hoskins in the fourth inning for the lone run his opponent would score. The southpaw lowered his ERA to 4.03 in 22.1 frames this season. Matz take on the Brewers on Sunday.
