Rest-of-Season Projections
Velocity nearly back
Matzek touched 95 mph with his fastball during Sunday's Grapefruit League appearance, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The southpaw's velocity is nearly back to what it was prior to his October 2022 Tommy John surgery, and Matzek certainly looked healthy enough Sunday as he struck out four Red Sox over two perfect innings in a split-squad game. Considering he didn't pitch at all in 2023, Atlanta will likely ease him back into action with lower-leverage duties to begin the season, but a return to the form that saw him post a 2.57 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 29.2 percent strikeout rate and 24 holds over 63 innings in 2021 doesn't seem far off.

Todd Zola shares his thoughts on the latest MLB action, with Brayan Bello showing promising stuff but still looking like a rookie in his debut outing.

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.

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.
