Braves' Tyler Matzek: Recovering nicely

Matzek (elbow) played catch Saturday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Matzek underwent Tommy John surgery in October and has reportedly been throwing since the end of May. The 32-year-old reliever still has a long way to go in his rehab process and almost certainly won't be ready to return until next season, but it's a good sign to see Matzek get back to throwing with a bit of velocity.
