Tigers Re-Sign Tyler Mattison to Minor-League Deal With Spring Invite

Detroit preserves roster flexibility by retaining a high‑spin fastball prospect on a non‑roster pact.

Overview

  • The 26-year-old right-hander returns on a non-roster minor-league contract after being non-tendered last month.
  • The agreement includes an invitation to major-league spring training and would pay $835,000 in the majors, per MLB Trade Rumors.
  • Mattison missed 2024 following Tommy John surgery, returned to the mound on May 28, 2025, and reached Triple-A Toledo on July 30.
  • In 20 Triple-A appearances last season, he posted a 3.79 ERA with a 25.6% strikeout rate and a 17.4% walk rate.
  • Statcast data highlights a four-seam fastball averaging about 19.4 inches of induced vertical break and roughly 2,663 rpm, setting up a 2026 push if command progresses.
