Inks MiLB deal, goes on IL
The Cardinals signed Matzek to a minor-league contract Thursday and placed him on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Memphis with an undisclosed injury.
ANALYSIS
The Cardinals previously inked Matzek to a minor-league deal back on June 3, but he was released this past weekend before he had made an appearance in the organization. He's now back on a new pact but will miss time with an undisclosed injury. It's not clear when Matzek might be ready to pitch with Memphis.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

First opt-out deadline coming
Matzek, who is rehabbing from an oblique injury, wants to stay with the Yankees but has the first opt-out date in his minor-league contract Friday, reports Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News.
ANALYSIS
The left-hander has made just one appearance during spring training due to the oblique issue, so it would make sense for him to stick with New York and wait for the next opt-out date early in the season. Matzek didn't debut last season until September due to an elbow issue, but he had a 2.92 ERA in 132 regular-season appearances for Atlanta from 2020 to 2022.
