Matz (elbow) has been named the starter for one of the Mets' games Saturday against the Braves, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.

It's uncertain which game of the doubleheader Matz will toss, but it confirms a previous notion that he'd be ready for action this weekend. This likely will line him up to face a starter from the Braves' Triple-A affiliate, although official word on that front has yet to come forth. This news, paired with the upcoming activation of Seth Lugo (elbow), likely means that Tyler Pill and Robert Gsellman will lose their rotation spots.
