Steven Matz (back) throws bullpen session for Mets
New York Mets pitcher Steven Matz (back) threw a bullpen session Tuesday at Citi Field.
What It Means:
The next step for Matz is to throw in an instructional league game on Thursday with the hopes of having him be available to start Game 4 of the National League Divisional Series next week. Matz sustained the injury on September 24th and has not pitched in a game since.
The Mets are showing a tremendous amount of confidence in the 24-year-old lefty if they throw him next week. Matz has made six career big-league starts and has a 3.56 xFIP over that span. The Mets' starting rotation had the third best xFIP in the league during the regular season, so using Matz in crunch time is a major endorsement.
