Mattison was non-tendered by the Tigers last month, but he's now back in the organization and will be in big-league camp this spring. The righty reliever boasts a 32.8 percent strikeout rate in the minors but has been held back by a bloated 13.4 percent walk rate.

Mattison was non-tendered by the Tigers on Friday.

Mattison was designated for assignment Tuesday after being selected by the Tigers in the Rule 5 Draft last year. He'll now be a free agent after reaching Triple-A Toledo in 2025.

Mattison was added to the 40-man roster last November, but he finds himself on the other side of Rule 5 cutdown day this time around. The right-hander has yet to make his major-league debut. He pitched mostly between Double-A and Triple-A this past season after recovering from right UCL reconstruction surgery.

Mattison's recovery from Tommy John surgery is officially complete, as he's been activated from the Triple-A injured list 15 months after the procedure. The 25-year-old made nine appearances between Single-A and High-A during his rehab assignment, and he allowed seven runs with a 9:8 K:BB across 10.1 innings.

Mattison (elbow) made the second appearance of his rehab assignment Sunday with High-A West Michigan, striking out a batter and allowing one hit over a scoreless inning of relief.

Mattison has been on Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list all season while recovering from March 2024 Tommy John surgery, but he appears to be closing in on his 2025 debut with the Tigers' top minor-league affiliate. After tossing a scoreless inning in his first rehab appearance with Single-A Lakeland on Wednesday, Mattison bumped up a level Sunday. He could make a few more appearances with West Michigan or Double-A Erie before slotting into Toledo's bullpen.
