Steven Matz (elbow) begins Mets' rehab assignment Thursday
New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Port St. Lucie on Thursday.
What It Means:
Seth Lugo (elbow) will also pitch for St. Lucie in the same game. The two hurlers are on a similar timetable, with the Mets hoping they'll be an option by early June. Matz threw about 30 pitches in an extended spring training game over the weekend, so he should be good for 45-50 on Thursday.
numberFire's models currently expect Matz to twirl a 4.07 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 18.8 strikeout percentage in just 73 innings this season.
