Out with elbow inflammation
Atlanta placed Matzek on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with left elbow inflammation, Grant McAuley of 929 The Game reports.
ANALYSIS
Matzek missed the entire 2023 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery and has struggled in 2024, collecting a 9.90 ERA and 10:3 K:BB across 10 relief innings. It's not clear at this point how long he might be sidelined. Ray Kerr is up to take Matzek's spot in Atlanta's bullpen.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting closer to return
Matzek is rehabbing from a shoulder injury but is getting closer to return after shifting his rehab assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett.
ANALYSIS
Matzek began his rehab stint at Single-A Augusta on Monday but didn't make any appearances, and the fact that he progressed to Triple-A means the southpaw should be nearing a return to full strength. However, it's not clear when he'd be called up to the big-league roster. He owns a 5.06 ERA through 13 appearances in 2022.

2011
2010
Matzek became somewhat of a cult hero for Atlanta during the World Series run in 2021, and he was reliable setup option all year with 24 holds and a 2.57 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 77:37 K:BB across 63 innings. The veteran southpaw could see more action in the middle innings this season with the offseason additions of Kenley Jansen and Collin McHugh. With Will Smith also returning, Matzek won't be in the mix for saves without a rash of injuries in Atlanta's bullpen.
