NICK MATON NEWS

Gets call from Triple-A The Phillies recalled Maton from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday. He'll start at shortstop and bat ninth in the Phillies' series finale with the Giants.

Impact He'll give the Phillies some additional depth in the middle infield after Jean Segura (finger) joined shortstop Didi Gregorius (knee) on the injured list Wednesday, though Johan Camargo and Bryson Stott may be first in line for reps at either middle-infield spots. Since Stott is one of the organization's top prospects, the Phillies will likely want him to play somewhere on a near-everyday basis, so he could end up getting demoted later this week instead of Maton if Gregorius -- who is currently on a minor-league rehab assignment -- is activated. Even if that happens, Maton may still find himself behind Camargo in the pecking order for reps at second base while Segura is on the mend.

MAY 21, 2022 • MCALL.COM

Sent to Triple-A Maton was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Impact Maton hit .256/.323/.385 in 52 games as a rookie last year and should be a serviceable utility infielder if the Phillies need to call on him at some point this season. He doesn't have a spot to fill right now, however, with the Phillies electing to have both Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm on their Opening Day roster.

Brought up from Triple-A The Phillies recalled Maton from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Impact Philadelphia will bring up Maton from the minors to give the team an extra body in the infield after Didi Gregorius was placed on the paternity list Sunday. Freddy Galvis will step in at shortstop for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks and will likely serve as the primary option at the position while Gregorius is away from the team for up to the next three days, so Maton will presumably be limited to a bench role.

Sent to Triple-A Maton was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday.

Impact Maton's .261/.323/.391 slash line in 128 plate appearances this season is perfectly adequate for a utility infielder, but he's a young player with options, so he's nonetheless found himself bouncing between the majors and minors for much of the year. He'll make way Thursday as the Phillies add an additional reliever, David Paulino, to the roster, but he could return the next time the Phillies decide they need another bat.

Rejoins major-league club Maton was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Impact Maton appeared in 11 games during his recent minor-league stint and posted a .468 on-base percentage with a triple, three doubles, eight runs and four RBI. He'll fill a depth role for the Phillies after right-hander Chase Anderson (triceps) was placed on the 10-day IL.

AUGUST 6, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Healthy again at Triple-A Maton (finger) has gone 2-for-13 with a double, four walks and three runs in his four games with Triple-A Lehigh Valley since being optioned by the Phillies.

Impact Before he was dropped from Philadelphia's active roster Thursday, Maton hadn't seen any action for the club since last weekend while he managed a finger injury. The fact that the Phillies chose to option him rather than placing him on the injured list implied the finger issue was only a minor concern, and his immediately entry into to the Triple-A lineup seemingly confirms as much.

Optioned to Triple-A Maton (finger) was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday.

Impact Maton has been dealing with a laceration on his right middle finger for nearly a week, and he hasn't recorded any plate appearances since suffering the injury. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the minor-league club right away, but Odubel Herrera (ankle) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Impact Maton was penciled in to start at third base, but he was scratched after suffering the finger laceration during batting practice. The 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day, and it's unclear if he'll be available off the bench Friday. Ronald Torreyes will take over at the hot corner.

Recalled for Sunday's game The Phillies recalled Maton from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Sent to Triple-A Maton was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

Impact The young infielder has spent the past week in the majors but will head back to Triple-A with Didi Gregorius (elbow) back from the injured list. Maton has a .265/.328/.398 slash line in 45 major-league appearances this season and could rejoin the Phillies later on this season if additional infield depth is required.

Starts for resting Segura Maton will start at second base and bat seventh Thursday against the Marlins.

Impact After going 1-for-2 with a triple, a walk, two runs and two RBI while filling in for a resting Ronald Torreyes in Wednesday's 11-6 loss, Maton will stick in the lineup for the series finale. This time around, Maton will be replacing second baseman Jean Segura, who is getting a breather after returning from the injured list earlier this week. Maton looks like he'll serve as the Phillies' top reserve middle infielder while he's up with the big club.
