Steven Matz's Lat Strain Forces Cardinals to Make Rotation Changes

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Steven Matz will be shut down for at least two weeks due to a lat strain suffered after his latest start. It is unlikely that Matz will throw for at least three weeks, potentially ending his season. Matz's spot in the rotation will be filled by left-hander Zack Thompson, while Adam Wainwright's struggles may put his rotation spot in jeopardy. The Cardinals have other options in Connor Thomas and Drew Rom to replace Wainwright if needed. With a record firmly out of the postseason picture, the Cardinals will prioritize Matz's full recovery for the 2024 season.

Matz, who was drafted by the Mets in 2009, said that the group had "something special" early on, but injuries and other factors prevented them from fulfilling their potential.

Jordan Walker's Swing Takes Flight, Earns Cardinals Recall.

Jordan Walker returned to the St. Louis Cardinals' active roster after a month with Class AAA Memphis, packing a more "relaxed" and "confident" feel at the plate. He made small corrections to his approach and swing for more line drives and a confidence boost from production. Steven Matz will work out of the Cardinals' bullpen for the foreseeable future, and rookie Matthew Liberatore will remain in the rotation. Tyler O'Neill has been prescribed 10 days of inactivity to see if rest will calm the irritation in his back.
