| Reliever Blake Treinen agreed to a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers through 2023, according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi. Kendall Capps Sun, May 22nd | The Cardinals placed Steven Matz on the 15-day IL with a left shoulder impingement on Monday. Dan Harris Mon, May 23rd | |
| Blake Treinen, who hasn't pitched since April 8th due to right shoulder inflammation, is opting to rehab his injury rather than undergo surgery. He will be sidelined until at least the All-Star break, according to manager Dave Roberts, who is hopeful to have his best reliever back for the stretch run. Scott Youngson - FantasyPros Tue, May 10th | Cardinals starter Steven Matz was removed from his Sunday start against the Pirates after throwing just four pitches. Matz appeared to tweak something after delivering a fastball that was not at his normal velocity. Jesse Garcia Sun, May 22nd | |
| The Dodgers have placed right handed pitcher Blake Treinen on the IL as reported by ESPN's Alden Gonzalez. Luke Monaldo Fri, Apr 22nd | Cardinals SP Steven Matz was solid on the mound Tuesday night, allowing two runs on three hits while also striking out seven in five innings pitched, picking up a no decision in the Cardinals' 4-3 win over the Mets. Chris Schommer Wed, May 18th | |
| Cardinals SP Steven Matz was solid on the mound Thursday, allowing three runs on seven hits while also striking out seven in 6 2/3 innings pitched in the Cardinals' 3-2 loss to the Orioles. Chris Schommer Fri, May 13th | ||
| Per Jeff Jones on Twitter, the Cardinals have scratched Jordan Hicks and moved Steven Matz’s scheduled start to today against Baltimore. Jesse Garcia Thu, May 12th | ||
| Notes | ||
| Matz had a surprisingly effective year despite moving to the AL East and Toronto, pitching 150 2/3 innings with a 3.82 ERA. We know what he is by now in his career - a strikeout rate that won't hurt you, a decent walk rate that isn't enough to keep his WHIP in check, and a ceiling of about 160 innings. Moving to St. Louis is a great thing for him, however, as he'll benefit from the Cardinals' excellent infield defense (Matz has a 47.1% ground ball rate). But he's essentially a replacement level fantasy starter at this point, and entering his age-31 season, we're probably not going to see much growth. Dan Harris - FantasyPros | ||
