Returns to Pittsburgh Mattson signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Thursday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Mattson appeared in three games for the Pirates last season, during which he allowed three earned runs over 5.1 innings while striking out six batters and walking five. Most of his time was spent at Triple-A Indianapolis, however, where he turned in a 3.19 ERA over 62 frames. The 29-year-old will almost certainly return to Indy to begin the 2025 campaign, though a strong start could earn him another several looks in Pittsburgh's bullpen.

DECEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Removed from 40-man roster The Pirates outrighted Mattson to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Mattson is no longer on the 40-man roster but will stick around in the organization. He allowed three runs over 5.1 relief innings for the Pirates this season.

Selected from Triple-A The Pirates selected Mattson was selected from Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Mattson signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates in December and has been through Double-A and Triple-A during 2024. He has appeared in 30 games for Triple-A Indianapolis, notching a 3.19 ERA across 62.0 innings. The 29-year-old made his last and only MLB appearances in 2021 for Baltimore, where he allowed three earned runs in 4.1 innings. In a corresponding move, Jake Woodford was designated for assignment Thursday.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to Pirates on MiLB deal Mattson signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Dec. 11.

Impact Mattson, 28, began the 2023 season in the independent Atlantic League before inking a minor-league deal with the Twins in June. He went on to register a 3.62 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 42:24 K:BB over 32.1 innings for Double-A Wichita and will likely open the 2024 campaign with the Double-A affiliate of the Pirates in Altoona.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Time's up in Baltimore organization The Orioles released Mattson on Monday.

Impact Mattson reached the majors for the first time in 2021 and made four appearances out of the Baltimore bullpen, but he was outrighted off the 40-man roster in the spring and had pitched exclusively at Triple-A Norfolk this season. Over his 17.2 innings with Norfolk, Mattson turned in a 6.62 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 14:20 K:BB.

JULY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy at Triple-A Mattson (shoulder) has made three relief appearances for Triple-A Norfolk this season, covering three no-hit scoreless innings while striking out three and issuing one walk.

Impact Mattson dealt with a sore right shoulder in spring training, which closed the door on any outside chance he had for making the Orioles' Opening Day roster. After being outrighted off the 40-man roster April 8, Mattson will face an even tougher time making it back in the big leagues even though he's now healthy again.

APRIL 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Triple-A Mattson (shoulder) cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Mattson was optioned to Norfolk earlier this week and has now lost his spot on Baltimore's 40-man roster. He entered spring training behind schedule due to shoulder soreness, and it's unclear when he's expected to be ready for game action.

APRIL 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A Mattson (shoulder) was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mattson was a month behind schedule entering spring training due to shoulder soreness and will begin the campaign in the minors. He didn't appear in any Grapefruit League games but could see action for Norfolk in the near future.

APRIL 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Delayed by sore shoulder Mattson is a month behind schedule due to shoulder soreness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Mattson isn't expected to get on a mound until April and will still have weeks of buildup to do at that point, so he'll almost certainly open the season on the injured list. The 26-year-old made his big-league debut last season but threw just 4.1 innings, so he's not necessarily in line for a significant role once he gets healthy.

Dealing with shoulder injury Mattson was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list due to right shoulder soreness Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Mattson last pitched at Triple-A Norfolk on Aug. 13, when he struck out two in two perfect innings to earn a save. The severity of the injury isn't yet clear, but he'll miss at least a week while he recovers.
