Crasnick, ESPN:
Steven Matz, rehabbing in Port St. Lucie, will rejoin the Mets tomorrow and throw a bullpen. If all goes well, he could start against Phillies on Friday.

Rubin:
Terry Collins said Steven Matz, "as of today," is ready to start Friday against the Phillies. Matz will be on a 50-pitch or so cap. He has been sidelined with a shoulder impingement.

Jay Bruce sits for the fifth time in six games on Friday. Lucas Duda, who nearly homered off the bench Thursday, starts for the second time since his return from the DL. T.J. Rivera gets a break after nine straight starts at second base.

Noah Syndergaard scratched from Saturday's start. Has strep throat. Sean Gilmartin will start.

@AdamRubinESPN
Terry Collins expects Jose Reyes will start at shortstop and Kelly Johnson will start at third base on Saturday to give Asdrubal Cabrera a day to rest his right knee. "I'm realistic to know that," Collins said. Cabrera fouled a ball off the knee during Friday's game. Cabrera countered about sitting: "I don't think that's going to happen."

"The 17-0 final was the most lopsided shutout victory in Mets franchise history, one run shy of their most lopsided win ever (19-1 over the Cubs on May 26, 1964). The loss was the Phillies' largest margin of defeat since a 22-3 loss to the Reds on Sept. 4, 1999, at Veterans Stadium. It was their worst shutout loss since at least 1913."

presuming the Cards (or Giants) keep losing, the crucial thing for the Mets is that they have a spot clinched by Sunday so Thor can start the WC game instead of the season finale in Philly.

Bruce stirring with another HR tonight...
An usher at Citi told a fan on Sunday "He doesn't want to play here -- no one can be that bad for so long." Which is bullshit obviously; good hitters go into multi-week slumps not infrequently.

bruce is not a good hitter tho
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 28 September 2016 00:54 (seven years ago) link
he may not be an upper-tier hitter, but he has been drastically underperforming his established level.
― The Hon. J. Piedmont Mumblethunder (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 01:08 (seven years ago) link
i'd call him a good hitter in 2010-13, at least :/
― The Hon. J. Piedmont Mumblethunder (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 01:19 (seven years ago) link
I am rooting for him, but he hasn't settled in yet.
With Wilmer Flores shut down, I'm guessing Conforto and TJ Rivera will make a potential post-season roster.
