Tosses six scoreless frames in win Matthews (2-2) earned the win against the Nationals on Friday, allowing two hits while striking out seven across six scoreless innings. He did not issue a walk.

Impact Matthews was dominant in his first quality start of the season, limiting the Nationals to just three baserunners while generating 12 whiffs and seven ground balls on 81 pitches (54 strikes). It was his second start since being reinstated from the 15-day injured list July 19, and while he's had his struggles in the majors this season, Friday's outing lowered his numbers to a 4.97 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 29 innings. Even with Bailey Ober (hip) nearing a return from the injured list, Matthews should stay in the Twins' rotation after David Festa (shoulder) landed on the 15-day IL on Wednesday. Matthews is slated to make his next start against the Guardians on the road next weekend.

Surrenders five runs in loss Matthews (1-2) allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out six over four-plus innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Rockies.

Impact The Twins took a 3-0 lead in the second inning, but the Rockies chipped away at it over the remainder of Matthews' start, which was his first major-league outing since June 4. He threw 77 pitches (51 strikes) before he was pulled from the game after running into trouble in the fifth frame. The 25-year-old is now at a 6.26 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB through 23 innings over five starts in the majors this season. Matthews is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Nationals, though he or David Festa could be at risk of losing the last spot in the rotation once Bailey Ober (hip) returns from the injured list.

Activated ahead of start The Twins reinstated Matthews (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

Impact After missing more than a month with a shoulder strain, Matthews will return from the IL and start Saturday's game versus Colorado. The 25-year-old is coming off a brilliant minor-league start, during which he struck out nine batters in four shutout frames, and he'll be welcomed back to the bigs by a Rockies offense that ranks 27th in MLB with a .673 OPS this season. Travis Adams was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Jeffers leads Twins against the Rockies after 4-hit game

Starting Saturday Matthews (shoulder) will be reinstated from the injured list and start Saturday's game against the Rockies, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Matthews has been sidelined since early June with a strain in his right shoulder. He was remarkable during his lone rehab outing Sunday, during which he gave up just one hit while racking up nine punchouts over four innings. The 25-year-old carries a 5.21 ERA and 1.47 WHIP through four MLB appearances this season, but his impressive minor-league start and a matchup against one of the worst offenses in the majors Saturday give him some appeal as a streaming option.

Dazzles in rehab start Matthews (shoulder) struck out nine and and allowed no hits and one walk over four shutout innings Sunday in his rehab start for Triple-A St. Paul.

Impact Pitching in a game setting for the first time since June 4, Matthews was about as sharp as the Twins could have hoped. The right-hander showed no signs of being limited by the moderate subscapularis strain that has kept him on the shelf for more than a month, as he needed just 56 pitches to record his 12 outs while flashing a fastball that topped out at around 97 to 98 miles per hour. Though Matthews isn't yet fully stretched out for a typical starter's workload, the Twins could nonetheless be willing to bring him back from the injured list for the first turn through the rotation coming out of the All-Star break. Matthews went 1-1 with a 5.21 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB in 19 innings over his first four starts of the season for Minnesota before landing on the shelf.

Beginning assignment Sunday Matthews (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Matthews hasn't pitched since June 4 thanks to a right shoulder strain, but after throwing against live hitters for the first time Tuesday, he's been given the green light to return to a competitive setting. Because the 25-year-old has been out for over a month, he'll almost certainly require multiple tune-up starts and will likely return sometime in late July or early August.
