An MRI on Steven Matz revealed no structural damage and “just a little inflammation,” according to multiple reports. While this is welcome news for the New York Mets, the left-hander is still possibly headed to the disabled list, according to Mike Puma. The team plans to address the situation prior to tonight’s game at Citi Field.
Matz made the start on Tuesday against the Washington Nationals and was tagged for seven earned runs on eight hits while only recording two outs (the shortest start of his major league career).
