Mets: LHP Steven Matz cleared by doctors to resume offseason program

The Mets rotation is shaping up nicely for next season. The sole lefty of the bunch, Steven Matz, has been cleared by doctors to proceed with his regular offseason training and pitching schedule.

Matz underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from his elbow in October, but thankfully less than two months after surgery, his progress has been sufficient that the Mets medical staff is giving him the green light.

The Long Island-native told WOR Thursday, “I got cleared. The doctors said you’re good to go, progress with your normal offseason.”

Steven Matz’ 2016 season was a struggle injure-wise, to say the least.
