Matz to skip next start!

[Frayed Knot]

Gelbs via Twitter: Mets are skipping Matz's start on Saturday. Elbow soreness. No tests scheduled as of yet. Will see docs in NY when the team gets back.



That's not good even if things are good.

1. They don't have doctors in LA?

2. What, we need him available to pinch-hit? If he's gotta see the doctor in NY, put him on the plane NOW

Fuck.

quote="Gwreck" = 1. They don't have doctors in LA?
-- Sure they do, but they all deal in botox and plastic surgery


2. What, we need him available to pinch-hit?
-- we might. Hmmmm, Matz or Campbell?


3. If he's gotta see the doctor in NY, put him on the plane NOW
-- Sounds like they made the decision to sit him on Saturday no matter how things feel. The Post is already quoting the team as saying he feels "100% better" today as opposed to on Tuesday.
If nothing else this just fits into the season long plan of limiting his starts/innings.

Frigging Matz. I knew as soon as I expressed CAHNfidence in him he'd screw me over.

Also Wright has a sore shoulder from making all those shifty sidearm throws, and he's sitting too.

Worrisome. I almost wish they just said they were gonna skip his start as a matter of routine. I always prefer the truth but when it's about a pitcher's arm hearing news like that is always so scary.

Matz & Wright for Trout!

Just do it while they're right there in LA. Nobody will notice.

Rubin had a tweet last night that it was less the elbow and more in the forearm.

Well that's great Adam. That doesn't sound like a Tommy John issue at all!

Fucking ligaments.

At least Wheeler is close.

Results are in. No damage. Whew.
