Matz heading to New York, could return to rotation Friday (Yahoo Sports)

Steven Matz is heading back to New York, with plans of getting into the Mets' postseason chase by the weekend. The left-hander, who hasn't pitched for the Mets since Aug. 14 because of tightness in his throwing shoulder, went through a long-toss workout at the team's facility Tuesday. If all goes well there, the Mets could start him Friday against Philadelphia.
