The Twins plan to recall Matthews from Triple-A St. Paul to start Friday's game against the Brewers in Milwaukee, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
The 26-year-old will be entering the rotation as a replacement for Joe Ryan, who is headed to the injured list after he was diagnosed Thursday with a mild left glute strain. Matthews was demoted to Triple-A last weekend after losing his rotation spot to the newly acquired Dean Kremer, and he owns a 5.22 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 69:26 K:BB in 81 innings over 14 starts this year for Minnesota.
