Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Matthews was a fast-rising prospect last season who rose from High-A to the majors based on his impeccable control and strong strikeout rates but struggled in his first trip to the majors. Matthews had a 1.84 ERA with a 10.5 K/9 and just six walks in 78 innings between High-A and Double-A. After four starts at Triple-A, he was called up in August and had a 3.00 ERA in his first three starts, before struggling in his next six outings (9.13 ERA). He had good (2.6 BB/9) but not elite control in the majors but struggled to keep the ball in the park (2.6 HR/9). He also failed to pitch more than five innings in any start, though the Twins may have been limiting his workload. Matthews could win a spot in the rotation this spring and he has promising signs given his miniscule walk rate (1.0 BB/9 career in minors), strong strikeout rates (10.2 K/9 career in minors) and velocity (94.9 average mph fastball in the majors).

Signed a one-year contract with the Twins in March of 2025.
Punches out five in strong outing
Matthews didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the White Sox, allowing one run on three hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out five.
Analysis
Matthews has now logged a quality start in consecutive outings for the first time all year. The three hits allowed fell one shy of matching his season low, and the 25-year-old right-hander tallied an impressive 14 swinging strikes on the evening. Matthews still has work to do in order to improve his 4.73 ERA and 1.42 WHIP, though he does have 75 punchouts over 64.2 innings. His strong 26.6 percent strikeout rate could help give him an edge for his next scheduled matchup against the Angels, who lead MLB in strikeouts as a team (1,365).
