6 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz has been dealing with a blister on his left middle finger. As such, instead of starting on Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks as originally scheduled, he’ll now take the hill on Saturday. Jason Vargas, who was supposed to be skipped this turn through the rotation, will take Matz’s place on Thursday. Hopefully, the issue is a short-term one for Matz and doesn’t cause him any difficulties moving forward. He’s really come into his own from May onwards, allowing two runs or fewer (and the two runs was only once) in six of seven starts since the calendar shifted from April.--John Smith
