Cardinals' Steven Matz: Working toward return to rotation

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Friday that there is a plan in place to work Matz back into the starting rotation, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Matz is sitting as the odd man out after the Cards decided to pare down their six-man rotation to a traditional five. Matthew Liberatore currently holds the No. 5 spot and is scheduled to start Tuesday against the Rangers, but it seems as though Matz isn't completely out of the team's plans yet despite a 5.60 ERA and 1.70 WHIP.
