Mets LHP Steven Matz, whose 2016 season was cut short due to elbow and shoulder injuries, says he's on track for this coming season.
"I feel on track," Matz told Newsday on Thursday during his "Meet the Matz" pitching clinic at his alma mater, Ward Melville High School. "I'm really raring to go. I'm starting to get that itch for spring training coming around and I think a lot of the guys are. That seems to be the trend."
Matz' last start of 2016 came on Aug. 14. He then had surgery to remove bone spurs from his pitching elbow.
