Mathias had his contract selected by the Brewers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias was unable to earn a spot on Milwaukee's Opening Day roster, but he'll join the big-league club Tuesday with Hunter Renfroe headed to the injured list. The 27-year-old should serve as a reserve outfielder with Christian Yelich, Lorenzo Cain, Tyrone Taylor and Andrew McCutchen covering the three outfield spots and designated hitter.
