Mathias is starting Saturday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias will be in the lineup for a third consecutive game, serving as the designated hitter and batting seventh. Over his last two games, the 28-year-old has gone 5-for-9 with a home run, a double, five RBI, three runs and two strikeouts.

Mathias went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias was knocked in on an Ezequiel Duran homer in the second inning, then hit a two-run shot of his own in the third inning that scored Leody Taveras. He has seen sporadic playing time this season, batting .125 across six games for Milwaukee before being acquired by Texas. Since joining the Rangers, Mathias has gone 9-for-18 with two homers and eight RBI across six games. He is currently on a three-game hitting streak and now flaunts a .324 batting average for the year.

Mathias went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and one run scored Wednesday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias made only his second start since being recalled by the Rangers on Aug. 15, but he's made a good impression by collecting three hits in eight at-bats. Even so, there's no clear path to playing time for Mathias, unless the team opts to decrease Ezequiel Duran's opportunity at third base.

Mathias started at designated hitter and went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's 10-3 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias, who was acquired from the Brewers at the trade deadline, was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, a transaction that got lost amidst the organizational chaos of the past week, which featured the sacking of a manager and general manager. He appeared as a pinch hitter Wednesday, doubling in his lone plate appearance, then made his first start for the Rangers on Thursday. It's unclear how he'll be used going forward, as the Rangers tend to rotate several players through the DH spot. He could serve as a right-handed complement to Brad Miller at DH or get used as a utility player capable of playing second base, third base and left field.

The Rangers recalled Mathias from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias will provide some extra infield and outfield depth for however long he sticks with the Rangers. He managed two hits in 16 at-bats with Milwaukee this season before heading to Texas in the Matt Bush trade.

Mathias and Antoine Kelly were traded to the Rangers from the Brewers on Monday in exchange for Matt Bush, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias had been with the Brewers since 2020, but he could not find his way onto the big-league roster despite posting a .939 OPS at the Triple-A level, so he was dealt for bullpen help. Mathias could get more opportunities with the Rangers the rest of the way.

Mathias was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias provided infield depth for the Brewers over the last few weeks but saw sporadic playing time. He's hit just .125 with a homer, four RBI, two runs and a stolen base over six major-league games this year and should see more consistent at-bats in the minors. Mike Brosseau (ankle) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Mathias went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a stolen base in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start at second base and hitting ninth, Mathias helped spark a rally from an 8-1 deficit in the seventh inning when he took Patrick Corbin deep, but the Brewers ran out of time to tie things up. The 27-year-old has been extremely productive for Triple-A Nashville this season, slashing .325/.426/.526 through 34 games, but Saturday's homer and steal were his first for Milwaukee in three games as he's bounced on and off the roster. With Kolten Wong (calf) on the shelf, however, Mathias might get a chance to carve out a regular role in the majors in the short term.

Mathias was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias appeared in a couple games for the Brewers in late May before heading back to Nashville, but he was brought back Saturday to take the roster spot of Kolten Wong (calf), who landed on the injured list. Mathias will provide infield depth for the Brewers until Wong is ready to return.

Mathias was optioned to Triple-A Nashville and designated as the 27th man for Monday's doubleheader against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Mathias will remain with the Brewers for Monday's doubleheader but return to Triple-A Nashville following Game 2. Since having his contract selected by the team May 24, he's appeared in one game, going 1-for-4 with a run scored. Mathias will provide an extra bat off the bench for Monday's two contests.
