Eligibility
Infielder Mark Mathias has been outrighted off the 40-man roster by the San Francisco Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Mathias can reject the assignment to Triple-A and become a free agent as he has previously been outrighted in his career. He split the 2023 season between the Pirates and Giants at the big-league level, hitting just .226 with three stolen bases across 72 plate appearances on the season.
Mark Mathias may have only recorded one hit in Monday's game against the Athletics but he made his presence felt on the basepaths by scoring two runs and stealing two bases to help lead the Pirates to a 5-4 victory.
Fantasy Impact
Mathias has been a solid contributor for Pittsburgh this season, with a .273 batting average, three stolen bases, and a .326 wOBA through 17 games played. His ability to get on base and create scoring opportunities will continue to be an asset for the Pirates moving forward.
The Texas Rangers have traded outfielder Mark Mathias to the Pittsburgh Pirates for a player to be named later.
Fantasy Impact
Mathias was designated for assignment last week when the Rangers signed reliever Will Smith. The 28-year-old Mathias impressed in 30 games with the Rangers last season, hitting six home runs with three steals and an .825 OPS across 91 trips to the plate. He also hit .318 with eight homers, eight steals, and a .939 OPS across 50 games with the Brewers' Triple-A affiliate before joining the Rangers organization in 2022.
Mark Mathias went 3-for-5 with four RBIs, three runs and one strikeout Tuesday against the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
Mathias connected on an RBI double, two run long ball and walk-off solo home run in his final three at-bats of the night as the Rangers stormed back after being down 7-2. Mathias both started the rally and finished it off with the walk-off.
Mark Mathias went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs Friday against the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
Mathias extended the Rangers lead to 7-2 with a two-run long ball in the third inning off Detroit starter Tyler Alexander which went on to become the winning runs. Mathias is hitting .324 so far at the plate this season on limited at-bats.
