One day after exiting early in a historic route, New York Mets starter Steven Matz is headed for tests on his left (throwing) forearm, the team said Wednesday.
Matz lasted just two-thirds of an inning, giving up seven runs on eight hits, as the Mets suffered a 25-4 loss to the Washington Nationals on Tuesday.
Mets manager Mickey Callaway said Wednesday the team was concerned about Matz and had sent him for further testing.
"He did mention after the game that he had a little tightness or discomfort in his forearm," Callaway told reporters. "I think we will get him checked out and go from there."
Callaway said Matz hadn't complained about the forearm previously but had been dealing with "dead arm."
Matz is 5-9 on the season and has seen his ERA jump from 3.31 to 4.35 since July 12.
