The Mariners need all the help they can get on offense, so perhaps Mathisen may be able to help them at some point in 2021. At the very least, he is a versatile option off the bench.

The Rays recently designated Mathisen for assignment. Therefore, it is no surprise that they moved him on. Getting cash back for players is how Tampa Bay often operates.

There is no fantasy impact here, as Mathisen will remain in the minors for the time being. His upside is limited even if he were to receive the call back to MLB.
