Tyler Matzek News
Atlanta Braves left-handed reliever Tyler Matzek (elbow) is having Tommy John surgery, according to skipper Brian Snitker. It's the reason why Matzek was left off the roster for the National League Division Series this week against the Philadelphia Phillies, and he'll likely miss all of the 2023 season as a result. The 31-year-old southpaw wasn't nearly as good in 2022 as he was during the team's World Series run last year. In 43 2/3 innings during the regular season, he went 4-2 with a 3.50 ERA (4.49 FIP), a 1.26 WHIP, one save and 36 strikeouts in his 42 relief outings for Atlanta.
Atlanta Braves left-handed reliever Tyler Matzek picked up his first save of the season in Tuesday night's 9-7 extra-inning win over the Boston Red Sox. The 31-year-old struck out two in a perfect inning of work in the 11th frame. Raisel Iglesias was charged with a blown save after working the eighth inning, and closer Kenley Jansen entered in the ninth to keep the game tied going into extra innings. On the season, Matzek is 1-2 with a 3.86 ERA, a 1.17 WHIP, 21 strikeouts and 15 walks in 25 2/3 innings of work. He also has six holds. Matzek isn't all that attractive in fantasy due to his 19.6% strikeout rate and bloated 14% walk rate.
The Atlanta Braves reinstated reliever Tyler Matzek (shoulder) from the injured list on Monday. Matzek and outfielder Eddie Rosario were both reinstated from the injured list and should provide the National League East club with additional options in the bullpen and outfield respectively. Matzek has only thrown 10.2 innings this season, pitching to a 5.06 ERA and a 5.55 FIP, 10 strikeouts, and nine walks. However, he was much more effective in 2021, logging a 2.57 ERA and a 3.20 FIP in 63 innings while striking out 77 batters and allowing 37 walks. He's worth a look for fantasy managers in deeper leagues where holds are part of the scoring format.
