Mets' Matz may test shoulder Wednesday

CINCINNATI _ Steven Matz remains in wait-and-see mode, hoping that his left shoulder responds well enough to progress past throwing off flat ground.

Mets manager Terry Collins said Matz may throw again on Wednesday, just as he did on Monday, to test his shoulder and the impingement that is threatening the remainder of his season. But there is no set date for the left-hander to attempt throwing off a mound.

"We'll see how the rest helps him," Collins said. "And some of the medication he was on, we'll see how that works."

Jacob deGrom has yet to begin throwing. Forearm soreness also has threatened to end his season prematurely.
