Isaac Mattson - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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

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.

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

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.
