Error 0:

New York Mets‘ left-hander Steven Matz keeps making the news over the last few hours. A day after a report from the New York Post saying that the Yankees have asked about him amid their injury crisis, the Queens’ squad sent him home with an illness.

According to David Lennon, the southpaw left the Mets’ camp on Tuesday with an undisclosed illness. He was going to throw a bullpen session, which was skipped as a result of this health-related bump.

However, the Mets still plan to have him start Friday’s game, which is his scheduled day.
