According to Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat, hee received an injection in his back and will be shut down for a week at minimum.

5/03/24 Cardinals lose pitcher Steven Matz and must now decide how to fill his rotation spot. The Cardinals won't have starting pitcher Steven Matz at least until the middle of May, and it remains to be seen how they'll chose to fill the void in their rotation. The Cardinals recalled right-handed reliever Kyle Leahy in a corresponding roster move to take Matz's place on the active roster. The Cardinals (14-17) begin a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox (6-25) at Busch Stadium on Friday night. The White Sox enter the weekend with the worst record in the majors.

5/01/24 After abbreviated start, does Steven Matz's sore back put Cardinals in a bind and how soon?. Days before he felt the velocity slip from his fingertips, Steven Matz experienced the soreness that would infiltrate his start Tuesday with each footfall on a run. The Cardinals' lefty experienced soreness in his lower back jogging this past week, and while he felt the discomfort abate he could not get it to alleviate entirely before taking the ball for Game 2 of a doubleheader against Detroit at Comerica Park. By the fourth inning it became clear that Matz did not have the same zip on his fastball, the same extension or finish to get the same command. Four runs, seven hits, and one strikeout later, he did not finish that fourth inning.

3/09/24 Thomas Saggese, Pedro Pages save Cardinals from another shutout by powering through 9th. Well, the Cardinals got their work in Saturday. Steven Matz began the game with a swift, assertive, three-pitch strikeout and that was the high point for the Cardinals. The Mets pounced for a four-run lead, more than doubled that lead later, and then came three outs shy of becoming the latest team to shut out the Cardinals. Prospect Thomas Saggese started the scoring in the ninth with a solo homer and catcher Pedro Pages followed with a two-run shot that tidied a game that the Mets once led by nine runs.

8/07/23 Hochman: Looking back, would Cardinals' 2023 been different without World Baseball Classic?. “It's not an excuse — it was just something that we needed to navigate,” Marmol said. After their 1-0 home loss Sunday to Colorado (with 15 St. Louis runners left on base!), the Cards' record, 49-64, now is the second-worst in the National League — ahead of only, yup, Colorado. For instance, starter Steven Matz wasn't in the WBC, and he had a 5.72 ERA before being demoted to the bullpen in late May. Ryan Helsley and Jordan Hicks weren't in the WBC either, but they had a combined five blown saves by May 5.
