Mets lefty Steven Matz had bone spurs removed Tuesday

Mets left-hander Steven Matz had successful arthroscopic surgery to remove bone spurs in his left elbow on Tuesday, the team said.
Matz also received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his left shoulder, which had been bothering him since July.
The team said Matz is expected to be ready for Spring Training.
Matz was shut down for the season on Sept. 27 due to continued soreness in his shoulder. He last pitched on Aug. 14.
He had a 3.40 ERA and 1.21 WHIP while striking out 129 batters and walking 31 in 132.1 innings (22 starts) this season.
