Steven Matz was scratched from his scheduled Monday start against minor leaguers because of tenderness in his pitching elbow. We all fear this will not end well.
“There’s a little irritation, and he’s got to work that out,” Sandy Alderson said, according to ESPN.com. “We don’t think it’s anything significant, but it bothers him on extension. He won’t pitch tomorrow, and we’ll see where that takes him over the next four or five days.”
Sure, every Mets injury starts out as nothing significant, yet they seem to grow into something very significant.
