NEW YORK -- Steven Matz, who hoped to skip only one start after sustaining a flexor-pronator strain in his left forearm, will instead miss multiple. The Mets have scheduled Corey Oswalt to make another start Saturday against the Marlins, ensuring that Matz will not come off the disabled list when eligible.
While Mets manager Mickey Callaway said that Matz "is going to progress and keep on progressing," he could not reveal when Matz might pitch again. The left-hander, who is 5-9 with a 4.35 ERA in 21 starts, threw a 15-pitch bullpen session on Monday.
