Staying in rotation indefinitely
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Sunday that Mathews will remain in the team's rotation for the foreseeable future, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Analyse
The wheels had already been in motion for Mathews to get a long look at the big-league level, and he's now also needed out of necessity following the injuries to Andre Pallante (elbow) and Hunter Dobbins (forearm). Mathews is coming off easily the worst of his three major-league starts, having been roughed up for seven runs on 10 hits and one walk with three strikeouts over five innings versus the Phillies. The southpaw is set to make his home debut this weekend against the Pirates.

Hit around in loss
Mathews (0-2) took the loss against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and one walk with three strikeouts over five innings.
Analyse
Mathews endured two ugly innings despite throwing 67 of 99 pitches for strikes and allowing just two extra-base hits. It was the worst of the 25-year-old's three starts with the Cardinals, and he's been unable to exceed five frames despite throwing 95 pitches or more in each outing. He owns an inflated 6.43 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB across 14 major-league innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Pirates next weekend.

Recalled for start
The Cardinals recalled Mathews from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday ahead of his start against the Phillies.
Analyse
Mathews will return to the majors to help fill the holes in a St. Louis rotation that has lost both Andre Pallante (elbow) and Hunter Dobbins (forearm) to the injured list within the past couple of days. Mathews owns a 3.27 ERA at Triple-A this season and has given up just three runs across nine innings during his two starts in the big leagues.
