Matz has transformed a negative, that being his failure to make the Cardinals' Opening Day rotation, into a positive by becoming a nifty utility pitcher. He's recorded at least four outs in 21 of his 29 appearances, and he's done so while generating a 3.29 ERA and a 5.11 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
The club continued what is expected to be a considerable sell-off at the MLB trade deadline by sending outfielder Randal Grichuk to the Kansas City Royals, according to MLB.com's Steve Gilbert. Reportedly going back to the D-backs is relief prospect Andrew Hoffman.
