New York Mets left-hander Steven Matz has a "slight strain" of his left middle finger and is day-to-day, manager Mickey Callaway said Wednesday.
Matz will not need to go on the disabled list, Callaway said. The strain is near the knuckle of the middle finger.
The team does not know if Matz will make his next scheduled start. He left his start against the Atlanta Braves after three innings on Tuesday night with the injury.
Matz was hurt during a fourth-inning at-bat Tuesday night in which he doubled. The bat flew out of the pitcher's hand and bent back his finger in the process.
