Took a while but I found it. Matz made a 10th start and threw 4 pitches, was pulled with shoulder discomfort. Rondon came in and relieved vs the PIT leadoff batter.
Now that Matz is rehabbing, what would be his role, long relief? He certainly shouldn’t be in the starting 5. And who would he bump off of active roster? Woodford, Thompson, Romero?
He will be in the bullpen. I would imagine he would bump Thompson or Romero.
#STLCards LHP Steven Matz, who threw well on Tues at Springfield, will pitch again on Friday. He is hoping to be able to throw at least into the third inning. He’s being groomed as a reliever — something that shouldn’t be a problem for him, he said, b/c he “gets ready quickly.”
