No-throw for two weeks Matthews was diagnosed with a moderate subscapularis strain in his right shoulder Tuesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Now that the Twins know exactly what kind of injury Matthews is dealing with, the plan is for him not to throw for roughly two weeks. He'll be re-evaluated following his no-throw period, at which point a clearer timeline for his return may emerge. Simeon Woods Richardson was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday and figures to remain in Minnesota's rotation until Matthews is cleared to return.

Out with shoulder strain The Twins placed Matthews on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right shoulder strain.

Impact Though he pitched effectively this past Wednesday against the Athletics en route to claiming his first win in four starts with the Twins, Matthews apparently came out of that outing with the shoulder injury, which will now keep him out for at least the next two weeks. The loss of Matthews is the second big blow to the Minnesota rotation in less than a week, after Pablo Lopez was shelved Thursday due to a right teres major muscle train that will likely keep him out for 2-to-3 months. The Twins haven't named a replacement in the rotation for Matthews, but Simeon Woods Richardson could be summoned from Triple-A St. Paul to fill the void.

Rolls to first win of season Matthews (1-1) earned the win over the Athletics on Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings.

Impact Matthews held the A's scoreless until allowing a run in the fifth inning. Despite that tally, the right-hander emerged with his first win this season and just the second of his big-league career. Matthews didn't miss many bats Wednesday, notching a modest seven whiffs and finishing with a season-low four punchouts, but this was the first time through four starts this year that he's given up less than two runs and the second time he's completed five frames. Matthews appears to be becoming more entrenched in Minnesota's rotation, especially with Pablo Lopez (shoulder) facing an extended absence. Matthews' next start is lined up to be home matchup against a woeful Texas offense that has scored the fourth-fewest runs in the league so far.

Overcomes shaky first inning Matthews allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out seven over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Friday.

Impact Matthews gave up back-to-back home runs to Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena in the first inning, putting the Twins in an early 4-0 hole. They were able to dig out of it, sparing the 25-year-old right-hander from taking his second loss. He hadn't allowed a homer over his first two starts. Matthews has a 6.43 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB over 14 innings this season. He displayed rare efficiency despite the shaky start, ending with 94 pitches (64 strikes) in this outing. Matthews' next start is tentatively projected to be on the road versus the Athletics.

Fans nine in no-decision Matthews didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Royals, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out nine.

Impact The young righty got the hook after 81 pitches (57 strikes) having established a career high for strikeouts in his 11th big-league start. However, Matthews once again failed to go deep into a game after lasting just three innings in his season debut May 18. His ability to miss bats isn't in question, but he'll need to become more efficient if he wants to stick around in the Minnesota rotation. Matthews will take a 7.71 ERA and 14:4 K:BB through his first seven innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Seattle.
