Steven Matz

The Cardinals are moving Steven Matz to the bullpen on Sunday.

Matz will head to the bullpen after going 4 2/3 innings in his first start since returning from the injured list. Lance Lynn is expected to be activated soon and will take his spot in the rotation.

Steven Matz will start for the Cardinals Tuesday.

Matz will draw the start on Tuesday as a spot start to give the rest of the rotation members an extra day of rest. He will likely return to the bullpen after his start Tuesday.

Steven Matz (back) has been activated from the 60-day IL Sunday. He will likely start during the Cardinals series vs the Brewers next week.

Fantasy Impact

Matz has been out since late April due to back issues. He threw just over 60 pitches in his last rehab start, so it's unlikely we will see a full starter's workload this week vs the Brewers.

The Cardinals are expected to activated Steven Matz (back) from the IL over the weekend.

Fantasy Impact

Matz will likely be added on Sunday when the rosters expand. The Cardinals have not determined if they will use Matz as a starter or a long reliever.

Steven Matz (back) will lower his pitch count to 65 in a rehab start with Triple-A Memphis Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Cardinals manager Oli Marmol stated that they are looking to reduce his workload to keep him flexible for a variety of roles once he returns. This is expected to be his final rehab outing before being activated from the 60-day IL.
