The Reds reassigned Mathias on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias had been vying for a utility gig on the Reds' Opening Day roster but didn't make a hard charge for a spot, as he went 0-for-5 in Cactus League play before being sent to minor-league camp in the latest round of cuts. If Mathias sticks around in the organization through the start of the minor-league season, he'll report to Triple-A Louisville.

Mathias (shoulder) will start at third base and bat sixth in Monday's split-squad Cactus League game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The non-roster invitee will be making his second start in as many days after he went 0-for-3 while manning the keystone for five innings in Sunday's 9-4 win over the Angels. Mathias finished the 2023 campaign on the Giants' 60-day injured list due to a right shoulder strain, but he looks to be back to full health as the start of the 2024 season nears.

Mathias (shoulder) signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Nov. 29.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias, 29, sports a career .246/.317/.391 batting line over parts of three major-league seasons for four different teams. His 2023 campaign ended in mid-August due to a shoulder injury and it's not clear what his current health status is.

Mathias (shoulder) elected to become a free agent Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias rejected an outright assignment to Triple-A Sacramento after being pushed off the 40-man roster by San Francisco on Wednesday. The utility player went 14-for-62 (.226) with a .591 OPS in 27 major-league games this year between the Pirates and Giants before suffering a season-ending shoulder strain in mid-August.

The Giants sent Mathias (shoulder) outright to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias slashed just .226/.333/.258 across 72 plate appearances in the majors this season, and a strained shoulder put an early end to his season in mid-August. Mathias will have the option to elect free agency and should be able to draw a minor-league deal in the offseason.

San Francisco transferred Mathis (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mathis was diagnosed with a right shoulder strain last week and is officially done for the remainder of the 2023 regular season. Kyle Harrison will fill the vacated 40-man roster spot as he prepares to make his major-league debut Tuesday night in Philadelphia.

The optional assignment of Mathias was reversed and he has been placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right shoulder strain, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, but following the reversal he will instead end up on the big-league injured list. The 29-year-old utility man went 2-for-10 during his recent eight-day stint with the Giants.

The Giants optioned Mathias to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias went 2-for-10 with four strikeouts during his eight-day stay on San Francisco's major-league roster. Johan Camargo will fill his spot ahead of Monday's series opener against the Rays.

Mathias was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias was acquired by the Giants ahead of the trade deadline and will now receive his first look with the big club. The 29-year-old played in 22 games for the Pirates earlier in the season and had a .231/.355/.269 slash line in 62 plate appearances.

Mathias was traded from the Mariners to the Giants on Monday along with AJ Pollock for an undisclosed return, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias was claimed off waivers by the Mariners on July 2 and AJ Pollock might be seen as a negative value contract, so there likely won't be a notable prospect headed back from San Francisco. Mathias, who turns 29 on Wednesday, is a career .249/.323/.402 hitter with six home runs and seven steals in 68 big-league games.
