Matthews appears to be the leading candidate to receive a call-up from Triple-A St. Paul and enter the Minnesota rotation if Pablo Lopez (hamstring) is placed on the injured list, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Matthews made a start for St. Paul on Tuesday, so he would line up to fill in for Lopez's spot in the rotation Sunday against Detroit. Matthews has a 1.80 ERA with a 13:1 K:BB in 10 innings at Triple-A. He reached the big leagues for the first time in 2024 and struck out 43 batters over 37.2 innings, but he served up 11 home runs and finished with a 6.69 ERA and 1.65 WHIP.
