The New York Mets will skip Steven Matz's next start with forearm soreness, Terry Collins says.

Matz pitched six innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. He would have faced the Colorado Rockies over the weekend.

He said the forearm might have been bothering him during the start but that adrenaline dulled the issue until after he departed.

"It was pretty sore," Matz said. "I was still able to throw, but it was enough concern for me to say something to the trainers and just kind of tell them what was going on. Before I see the doctors, they just want to play it safe."
