Out · expected back around Feb 1
The Cubs have yet to decide whether to build Maton up for a late-season return or shut him down for the year, though the team is expected to make a decision within the next week or so. In the meantime, the Cubs will stash him away on the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man spot for Gabriel Arias, who was claimed off waivers from the Mets on Wednesday.

The Cubs transferred Maton (knee) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
The Cubs have yet to decide whether to build Maton up for a late-season return or shut him down for the year, though the team is expected to make a decision within the next week or so. In the meantime, the Cubs will stash him away on the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man spot for Gabriel Arias, who was claimed off waivers from the Mets on Wednesday.

Maton has been diagnosed with a partial patellar tendon tear in his right knee, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Maton is on the 15-day injured list for the third time this season with a nagging knee issue that had previously been labeled as tendinitis. Further testing revealed structural damage, and it puts his status for the remainder of the season very much in doubt. Maton was given a platelet-rich plasma injection back on July 21, and a decision will be made within the next 1-to-2 weeks as to whether Maton will push to return sometime in September or shut things down.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell announced July 21 that Maton will rest for roughly three weeks after requiring a platelet-rich plasma injection to address right knee tendinitis, MLB.com reports.
On the shelf for the third time this season due to the knee issue, Maton appears on track to be re-evaluated next week. Even if the PRP injection has resolved Maton's symptoms, the right-hander will likely be ramped up slowly. The veteran reliever submitted a 6.18 ERA and 1.81 WHIP over 27.2 innings in his 31 appearances before landing on the injured list July 20.

The Cubs placed Maton on the 15-day injured list Monday with right knee tendinitis, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.
Maton returned just over a week ago from the same injury and is now back on the IL after making just one appearance. Manager Craig Counsell said Monday that it will be "a little more of an extended absence" for Maton this time around, per Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune. The reliever will receive multiple opinions on his knee before deciding on a course of action. It's been a struggle this season for the veteran reliever, as Maton has posted an ugly 6.18 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in 31 outings after inking a two-year, $14.5 million contract last offseason.

The Cubs reinstated Maton (knee) from the injured list Saturday, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.
Maton landed on the injured list in late June with right knee tendinitis but has now been cleared to return to Chicago's bullpen after tossing 1.2 shutout innings during his lone rehab outing at Triple-A. The 33-year-old has struggled to find his footing this year, turning in a 6.08 ERA and 1.76 WHIP over 26.2 innings. He'll replace Jake Woodford on the active roster.

Maton (knee) will report to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday to begin a rehab assignment.
Maton has been on the shelf since June 26 due to right knee tendinitis but appears to be nearing a return from the 15-day injured list. He'll likely make a couple appearances with Iowa through the end of the week before rejoining the Chicago bullpen coming out of the All-Star break.
