The most likely sequence is that Matthews, who last started July 31 in Seattle, will pitch Friday’s series opener against the Brewers, with Connor Prielipp pushed back to Sunday as the Twins continue to manage his workload. Matthews was optioned Saturday to make roster room for trade acquisition A.J. Minter. But because Matthews would be replacing an injured player, he would be eligible to be recalled in fewer than the usually required 15 days.
