Mathis is not starting Tuesday against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Mathis has hit .353/.389/.588 over his last seven games. There's very little reason to believe the hot streak will last, though, as his season slash line sits at an awful .168/.221/.238 through 67 games. Jose Trevino takes over behind the plate in his absence.

Mathis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
