Matz (shoulder) is being considered to start Sunday's game against the Twins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets vacated Rafael Montero's spot in the rotation after another rough outing, and Matz's return timetable could line up with that next scheduled start. It's unclear how far into the game manager Terry Collins would let the left-hander would pitch if he was selected, although there has been speculation that he could piggyback the start with Jacob deGrom (forearm). The Mets could also opt to start Noah Syndergaard on normal rest for that contest, but this convoluted situation should become clearer as the weekend approaches.

Matz (shoulder) has been scratched from his scheduled start Thursday, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacob deGrom will be moved up a day to start in place of Matz, who is still dealing with some irritation in his shoulder. According to , the Mets are hoping that Matz could return at some point next week.

Matz (shoulder) is expected to return from the DL to start Thursday against the Marlins, ESPN.com's Adam Rubin reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matz has been sidelined since Aug. 14 with a strained shoulder, but he's progressed well in his recovery and if Tuesday's side session goes as anticipated, he'll be cleared to rejoin the rotation. Since rosters are set to expand Thursday, the Mets wouldn't need to make a corresponding roster move to accommodate Matz's return, which likely factored into manager Terry Collins' decision to schedule Matz for that day. The right-hander is expected to replace either Seth Lugo or Robert Gsellman in the club's rotation.
