Steven Matz (elbow) on track to start on Thursday for New York

New York Mets pitcher Steven Matz (elbow) is on track to return to the rotation on Thursday following a successful simulated game on Saturday.

What It Means:

Matz tossed 56 pitches over 3 innings on Saturday. He is expected to go through one last bullpen session before Thursday, and if all goes well, he will start against the Philadelphia Phillies. Matz has been out since July 31 with a flexor pronator strain in his left arm.

Our models have early projections of 25.2 FanDuel points in 5 2/3 innings for Matz on Thursday.
