The Tampa Bay Rays placed left-hander Steven Matz on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with elbow inflammation and selected the contract of right-hander Chase Solesky from Triple-A Durham.
Matz, 34, is coming off one of his best starts of the season when he allowed one run on four hits over six innings Sunday against the San Francisco Giants. He is 4-1 with a 3.86 ERA over seven starts during his first season with Tampa Bay.
The IL move for Matz is retroactive to Monday.
In 12 major league seasons, Matz is 64-63 with a 4.18 ERA over 253 outings (179 starts) for the New York Mets (2015-20), Toronto Blue Jays (2021), St. Louis Cardinals (2022-25), Boston Red Sox (2025) and Rays.
Solesky, 28, is set to make his major league debut after seven seasons in the minor leagues. In his first season in the Rays' organization, he is 2-1 with a 6.57 ERA in six starts at Durham.
