Lands on IL The Pirates placed Mattson on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with hip inflammation, retroactive to Sunday.

Impact Mattson gave up three earned runs in two innings during his first appearance back in the majors since mid-August on Saturday and appears to have picked up an injury in the process. He'll be eligible to return during the final week of the regular season. In the meantime, the Pirates will bring up Brandon Eisert to fill the void in their bullpen.

Back in big leagues The Pirates recalled Mattson from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Impact The right-hander has been shuttled between Triple-A and the majors throughout the season and is now getting another look with the Pirates. Mattson has pitched in 37 MLB games this season and has a 4.91 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 34:18 K:BB over 36.2 innings.

SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Indianapolis The Pirates optioned Mattson to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mattson was needed for two innings and 41 pitches in Monday's loss to the Tigers, so he wasn't going to be available for a day or two. Antwone Kelly will absorb Mattson's spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

Rejoins big-league bullpen The Pirates recalled Mattson from Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.

Impact Mattson was sent down earlier this month after posting a 4.93 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 33:16 K:BB over 34.2 innings. He'll aim for more consistency with the Pirates this time around.

AUGUST 13 • ROTOWIRE

Demoted to Triple-A The Pirates optioned Mattson to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

Impact The right-hander was called up Saturday and will return to Indianapolis without making an appearance during his one-day stint in the majors. Mattson has been inconsistent across 36 big-league outings this year with a 4.93 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 33:16 K:BB over 34.2 innings.

AUGUST 1 • Associated Press

Back in big leagues The Pirates recalled Mattson from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Mattson has given up four runs across his last two big-league appearances, but the Pirates will bring him back into their bullpen as the replacement for Antwone Kelly. Sporting a 4.93 ERA and 1.56 WHIP through 34.2 innings in the majors, Mattson will likely be limited to low-leverage work.

AUGUST 1 • ROTOWIRE

Demoted to Indianapolis The Pirates optioned Mattson to Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Impact Mattson (1.2 innings, 39 pitches) and Brandon Eisert (2.1 innings, 41 pitches) both saw heavy usage out of the bullpen in Tuesday's 8-7 loss to Arizona in 12 innings, so Pittsburgh will call up a pair of fresh relief arms from Triple-A (Noah Murdock and Hunter Barco) to replace them ahead of Wednesday's series finale. During his six-plus-week stay in the majors, Mattson appeared in 13 games and turned in a 6.39 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB across 12.2 innings.
