Steven Matz returns to Mets but what role will he have?

The Mets have their Matz back.

Steven Matz rejoined the team before Tuesday’s game against Philadelphia and appears poised to start Saturday in Miami. Even though the Mets and their gifted young left-hander are playing it coy about when he will pitch, his return makes a deep starting rotation even deeper.

“I’m just here to help these guys win. That’s all I can do, is just to go out whenever I pitch and try to win the game for the team,’’ Matz said. “The fans are really into it, the team’s winning games and it’s really exciting to be here.
