Fantasy Impact:
Matz cleared COVID-19 protocols and is expected to rejoin the Blue Jays’ rotation soon. It's unclear if Matz will have a pitch count in his next start. The 30-year-old owns a 4.26 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and 75 strikeouts across 69 2/3 innings in 2021. Fantasy managers should wait and see how Matz pitches over the weekend before inserting him into their starting lineups.
