Matz (elbow) threw his second live batting practice session of spring camp Thursday, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matz continues to work his way back from an August procedure to reposition a compressed nerve in his left elbow. He appears to be right in line with the other pitchers at this point in spring training, as he's now tossed a pair of live batting practice sessions in addition to a couple bullpens at the start of camp. Expect to see him on the mound in a Grapefruit League outing in the near future.

Matz (elbow) threw his first live batting practice session of spring training Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matz underwent surgery last August to reposition a compressed nerve in his left elbow, but it doesn't seem as though the procedure has put him behind his fellow pitchers in the early stages of the spring. After throwing off the mound a few days earlier, Matz's progression to a live session suggests that his elbow hasn't provide any complications to date. The 26-year-old is one of several pitchers competing for a spot at the back end of the Mets' rotation, but if he avoids any health setbacks in the spring, Matz should be in a good position to come away with a starting gig. Though avoiding the disabled list has been a struggle for Matz during his three seasons in the majors, he's generally been serviceable when he's been able to take the hill, producing a 3.99 ERA and 8.1 K/9 mark in 234.2 career innings.

Matz (elbow) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The embattled southpaw underwent surgery on his throwing elbow in August, but it seems like he's close to fully recovered from the operation. Given his injury history, it will be important for Matz to prove his health in a game situation, but this is an encouraging sign nonetheless. If he's healthy, the 26-year-old should compete for a rotation spot during spring training.

Matz (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day DL on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Matz underwent season-ending left elbow surgery in late August, to reposition a compressed nerve, and wound up starting just 13 games for the Mets this season. The expectation is that he will be fully recovered and ready for spring training.

Matz (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day DL on Friday, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

This move has no effect on Matz, as the club needed extra roster space for Phillip Evans, who was called up prior to Friday's game against the Reds. The left-hander underwent season-ending surgery a couple weeks ago, but should be able to return for the start of spring training.

Matz underwent season-ending surgery to reposition a compressed nerve in his left elbow on Wednesday, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

While this is an unfortunate way for Matz's season to end, he's expected to be ready for the start of spring training. The 26-year-old ended his 2017 campaign with a disappointing 6.08 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 48:19 K:BB in 66.2 innings, though some of his struggles can likely be attributed to the elbow ailment. A healthy Matz will look to bounce back in 2018.

Matz (elbow) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

This is simply procedural, as Matz is already expected to undergo season-ending surgery to repair his injured left elbow. His injury is thought to be similar to the one Jacob deGrom suffered last season, and deGrom has bounced back with a stellar 2017 campaign, so there is hope for Matz next season despite the procedure. Kevin McGowan was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to take his place on the roster, while Tommy Milone is set to take his place in the rotation.

Matz will undergo surgery to repair his left elbow, which was diagnosed with irritation in the ulnar nerve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The club announced that the surgery would be scheduled within the next few days. This obviously ends Matz's season, and depending on the severity of the surgery required, could cost him some time next season as well. Matz's injury has been compared to the one that ended Jacob deGrom's season in 2016, and he has come back strong in 2017 (3.49 ERA, 165 IP), so Matz could still be an impact contributor in 2018 despite the surgery.

Matz has been diagnosed with a nerve issue in his elbow and could require surgery, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Apparently Matz has been pitching through pain all season, which would help explain his sharp drop-off in performance from last season (6.08 ERA in 66.2 innings this season after 3.40 ERA in 132.1 innings last season). The nerve issue he's dealing with is thought to be similar to the one that forced fellow starter Jacob deGrom to undergo season-ending surgery last year. Tommy Milone is expected to take his place in the rotation Tuesday, and would likely continue to do so if Matz is forced onto the DL.

Matz is expected to be placed on the 10-day disabled list, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear what Matz is dealing with at this point, but the issue is apparently serious enough to warrant a trip to the disabled list. He went to the doctor to be examined Monday, according to Mike Puma of the New York Post, and more should be known once the results of his visit are disclosed. This may help explain his poor performance last week, where he conceded seven runs (six earned) in just 3.1 innings. Tommy Milone is expected to take his place in the rotation while he's sidelined, starting Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.
