Steven Matz was throwing Thursday and seemed confident he would make his next scheduled Mets start. Noah Syndergaard is still waiting to test his own injured finger.
“Right now I’m glad where we’re at,” Matz said before the Mets faced the Cubs at Citi Field.
Two days earlier the lefty departed early from his start in Atlanta after straining his middle finger on a swing and miss at the plate that sent his bat flying. Matz, who avoided the disabled list, is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Friday. He is the Mets’ scheduled starting pitcher for Sunday’s series finale.
