Matz (back) is scheduled to throw about 90 pitches in his rehab start with Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Matz has a 1.38 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB across 13 frames in his four previous rehab outings, and Wednesday's start is likely to be his last before being reinstated from the injured list. The left-hander will be fully stretched out as a starter, though his official role upon being activated has yet to be determined. Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak indicated the club could move to a six-man rotation with Lance Lynn (knee) also on the cusp of returning from the injured list.
