Availability
Rays left-hander Steven Matz is scheduled to start the club's third game of the regular season on the road against the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
Matz will return to starting this season after making 51 of his 53 appearances last season between the Cardinals and Red Sox as a reliever. The veteran posted a 3.05 ERA in that role last season and owns a 4.31 ERA in his career as a starter.
The Rays signed Steven Matz to a two-year contract.
Fantasy Impact
Matz will add more depth in the bullpen for Tampa Bay. He posted a 3.05 ERA across 53 appearances with the Cardinals and Red Sox last season.
Steven Matz pitched a clean ninth inning, allowing one hit and no walks, picking up the save against the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact
Aroldis Chapman was unavailable after pitching 24 pitches on Wednesday. On the season, Matz has a 2.98 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 66.1 innings. Since arriving in Boston, he has a 0.79 ERA and 0.70 WHIP in 11.1 innings. He won't get many, if any, more saves, but in saves plus holds leagues, he's worth a look.
The Red Sox added Steven Matz to their active roster.
Fantasy Impact
Matz was dealt to Boston ahead of Thursday's deadline. He'll join the Red Sox this weekend.
The Cardinals have traded Steven Matz to the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact
Matz adds another middle relief arm in the Red Sox bullpen. Blaze Jordan was sent back to the Cardinals.
