"An 11-year veteran, Matz lands a multi-year deal with Tampa after spending the past four years with the St. Louis Cardinals and the Boston Red Sox. Signing a four-year deal with the Cards following the 2021 season, Matz made just 10 starts (15 appearances) in his first campaign in the NL Central, authoring a 5.25 ERA and a 3.78 FIP across 48 innings, as injuries saw him make fewer starts and position him more into a bullpen role during the length of his contract."
"Last season, Matz made just two starts while appearing in 53 games for the Cardinals and Red Sox, producing a 3.05 ERA across 76 2/3 innings. With St. Louis, Matz appeared in 32 games and pitched to a 2.92 FIP and a 1.182 WHIP before being moved to the AL East at the trade deadline. With Boston, Matz continued to pitch well in terms of his ERA (2.08) and WHIP (0.877),"
Steven Matz agreed to a two-year deal with the Tampa Bay Rays pending a physical. He is an 11-year veteran who spent the past four years with the St. Louis Cardinals and the Boston Red Sox. Injuries limited him after signing a four-year deal following the 2021 season, reducing his starts and moving him toward a bullpen role. Last season he appeared in 53 games, posting a 3.05 ERA across 76 2/3 innings with excellent command (1.3 BB/9). The Rays may use him as veteran depth or shift him back into the rotation amid injury concerns.
