March 7, 2025 11:38 AM : The Cardinals are leaning toward putting Matz in their Opening Day rotation, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Matz has yielded just one run with a 3:3 K:BB over five innings in his first two starts this spring. Michael McGreevy would seem to be Matz's biggest competition, but the signs for now point to the veteran lefty getting another chance to start. Injuries have limited Matz to fewer than 50 innings in two of his three seasons with St. Louis.
