Mets' Steven Matz (elbow) scheduled for two more rehab starts

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz (elbow) is slated to make two more rehab starts.

What It Means:

Matz surrendered two hits and one run over three innings last Thursday in his first rehab start for High-A St. Lucie. He threw 53 pitches in the outing, so the left-hander obviously needs to be stretched out a bit more. Working his way back from a flexor strain, Matz could rejoin the Mets' rotation by the first weekend of June.

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.
