Steven Matz, Jason Vargas could be back in rotation this weekend

The Mets’ probable starting pitchers for this weekend remain undetermined, but manager Mickey Callaway hopes to have returning players from whom to choose.

Before the Mets’ 6-2 victory over the Nationals on Tuesday, Jason Vargas threw a side session and Steven Matz played catch. Both pitchers presently on the injured list will be evaluated Wednesday for potential duty this weekend in Miami.

Matz will throw a side session before the Mets reach a final decision, but Vargas could be cleared for a return to the rotation.

Callaway said he plans to start Jacob deGrom on Friday, with the following two days wide open.
