Steven Matz is currently waiting for his injured lat muscle to heal so that he can resume his role in the Mets rotation. He showed in his brief stay in Queens that he is a major league starting pitcher, possibly a future great one. After dominating Triple-A, he only gave up seven hits in 13.2 big league innings to go along with 14 strikeouts. The lat injury was not originally considered serious so Mets fans are already entertaining visions of a young and dominating starting rotation beginning this year.
If Matz does come back in 2015 — he has yet to be cleared to throw — the right move would be for the Mets put him in their bullpen.
