The lefty hopes to rejoin the team soon.
Good news isn't exactly hard to come by these days for Mets fans—a welcome change after years of LOLMets—but here's some more: Steven Matz is on his way back.
According to WFAN's Ed Coleman, Matz is scheduled to start tomorrow in St. Lucie, throwing 25 pitches. This will be followed by a 15-pitch bullpen session, then two more minor league starts of 50 pitches and 90 pitches, respectively.
Matz hasn't seen much major league action, but he was excellent in his two starts against the Reds and the Dodgers, allowing just two runs over 15 2/3 innings.
