Matzek will throw a bullpen session in front of scouts Thursday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
Analysis: Matzek allowed 11 earned runs over 10 big-league innings last season before being sidelined for several months with an elbow injury. He began a rehab assignment in late August but never made it back to the majors, finishing with a 5.23 ERA across 10.1 total frames between San Francisco's and Atlanta's Triple-A affiliates. If the 34-year-old lefty can prove during his showcase that he's completely moved past his injury, a contract offer may head his way.
Tyler Matzek Expected back in spring
General manager Alex Anthopoulos said Friday that Matzek (elbow) is expected to be ready for spring training, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: After undergoing Tommy John surgery in October 2022, Matzek resumed throwing in late May and remains on pace to return to Atlanta's bullpen for the start of 2024. The 32-year-old lefty holds a 2.92 ERA and 1.22 WHIP since joining Atlanta in 2020.
